The photos below are examples of what can happen to a table with humidity changes. This is not a defect, it is the result of natural movement in wood. The photos on the bottom are of plank tops that have moved with humidity changes. The breadboards do not expand the same way as the main panel because of the opposite grain directions, therefore creating an offset between the panel and the breadboards.

Wood is a product of nature and therefore acts in ways beyond human control. All hardwood has variation in its color and grain. These wood characteristics will put their own unique touch to each piece of solid wood furniture. Even though we go through the same building process, no two pieces will be exactly the same.

Most hardwoods are open grained, causing solid wood furniture to expand and contract with changes in temperature and humidity, even after protective finishes have been applied. These temperature changes may cause the wood to crack or have surface checks. This is not abnormal and these are not considered as flaws, but rather nature’s “beauty marks” which make each piece manufactured a truly unique piece of furniture.

Indoor humidity should be kept in the 35-40% range to minimize these effects. Solid wood should be kept away from direct sources of heating and cooling and should not be stored in attics or basements. Direct sunlight and fluorescent fixtures that contain ultraviolet rays can cause chemical changes in wood and finish and therefore should be avoided.

When cared for properly your solid wood furniture will become a piece of timeless beauty, one that will be treasured for generations.

In an effort to clear up some confusion that can go with self storing tables, we are providing a general list of table sizes, shape and styles where self storing works or does not work. Always keep in mind when you are choicing a table with self storing, there are two major factors in self storing:

1. Pedestal or trestle base mounting plate size and spacing
2. The length of the table slide required to accommodate the amount of leaves needed for the table.

Here is one example of a very common size table that gets ordered self store, but it cannot self store four leaves: 42″ x 66″ OVAL, 4 leaves. Most people have a tendency to think that the three leaf version can self store all three of the leaves, so it shouldn’t be a problem to store four leaves on a four leaf table, however this does not work because for a four leaf table, our slide is 12″ longer than on a three leaf table, which forces our table makers to move the slides closer together so they fit between the table skirts. Then there is not enough space between the slides to store more than two leaves.

Here is a compiled list of table styles, shapes, and sizes showing just how many leaves can be self stored:

LEG TABLES WITH RECTANGLE TOPS

TRESTLE TABLES WITH BOAT SHAPE TOPS

• 42″ x 60″–1, 2, 3 and 4 leaf tables can only self store 2 leaves BOTH without skirts
• 42″ x 66″ and 42″ x 72″–1, 2, 3 and 4 leaf tables can only self store 2 leaves, 1 with skirt, 1 without. If a 2, 3, or 4 leaf table is ordered with self store, the last leaf will be unskirted.
• 48″ x 60″ stores up to 4 leaves, 2 with skirt, 2 without
• 48″ x 66″ and 48″ x 72″ stores up to 4 leaves, ALL unskirted

SQUARE ROUND TABLES

• NOTE: SQUARE OR ROUND TABLES CANNOT SELF STORE ANY LEAVES!

DOUBLE PEDESTAL TABLES WITH OVAL AND BANQUET TOPS

Whether you’re seating 10 people or just 4, you’re going to want to make sure the table you pick out size wise makes sense. Just because a 48″ round can sit 6 people doesn’t necessarily mean it’s the best when it comes to sitting 6 people at all times. Below are some example table sizes and our recommendations for each size.

Round & Square Tables

When it comes to square or round tables, typically a 42″ and 48″ will be able to sit the same amount of people just like a 54″ and 60″ can. We have seen some diagrams that show a 48″ can sit 6 people. This is highly situational. The only way something like that is possible if it a pedestal style table. When you sit 6 people at that kind of size, it is a very tight fit as well.

Oval & Rectangular Tables

On any style table, a 42″W x 60″L can sit 4 people comfortably and a 42″W x 66″L or 42″W x 72″L will seat 6 people. Leg tables will be more constrained when it comes adding chairs due to the fact you lose your corners on each end.

On a 42″W x 60″L leg table you will typically only be able to sit 4 people at the table (1 on each end). Depending on the size of the legs, it may be possible to put 6 people around the table but this is rare and still may not be comfortable for everyone sitting. To 6 people around a leg table the minimum size is a 42″W x 66″L but the recommended size is a 42″W x 72″L as it is the most comfortable giving everyone enough leg and elbow space between each other.

When it comes to 42″W x 60″L trestle tables, you will be able to sit 4 people comfortably. Depending on the trestle base, you will only be able to push 4 chairs in all the way. This is the same when it comes to 42″W x 66″L trestle tables. A 42″W x 72″L will be able to push 6 chairs in under the table.

Widths

Typically, most tables come in a 42″ wide standard. You are able to increase that to a 48″ wide. This doesn’t increase the amount of people you can sit at your table. This just creates some extra leg room for those on the corners. The one thing to keep in mind when you increase the width, it can make it more difficult passing dishes and condiments. Rather than simply passing the salt, you might have to toss the salt.

On smooth table tops, each leaf is 12″ wide. Whenever you have a planked table top, each leaf will be 16″ wide. Almost any table can come with leaves. The rule of thumb we like to use is for every 2-12″ leaves, you can sit an additional 2 people. This also applies to 1 leaf. When you add in one leaf, you’ll be able to add an additional person to each side.

When choosing out your width and length for your table, that is the size it will be before adding leaves.

IE: 42 x 60 + 2-12″ leaves = 42 x 84 when fully expanded.
