Modern Oak Veneer Extendable Dining Table – Round to Oval

Experience Timeless Elegance: A Versatile Round to Oval Dining Table with a Real Wood Veneer Finish for Modern Irish Homes

Discover the ultimate centrepiece for your dining room. This masterfully crafted table brings together flexible functionality and the authentic beauty of natural wood. Specifically designed for modern living in Ireland, it’s a truly versatile piece that adapts to your needs.

From Intimate Dinners to Grand Feasts

The table begins as an intimate 100 cm round table, which is ideal for daily family use. However, when guests arrive, it smoothly transforms into a spacious 180 x 100 cm oval. As a result, it can comfortably seat up to eight people, making it perfect for any occasion, from casual brunches to large dinner parties.

Premium Materials for Lasting Quality

The tabletop, for instance, is finished with a premium oak veneer, showcasing the unique grain, texture, and warmth that only real wood can provide. In contrast to laminate alternatives, this veneer surface offers a sophisticated, timeless look that elevates any interior. Moreover, the robust frame is constructed from solid beech wood and supported by striking V-shaped steel legs (4 x 7 cm profile), powder-coated in black for a durable, industrial-inspired finish.

Effortless Transformation & Versatile Style

Transitioning the table is remarkably effortless, primarily thanks to the high-quality ball-bearing metal runners. You can therefore simply pull the halves apart and insert the two 40 cm extension leaves stored conveniently within. Furthermore, its versatile aesthetic makes it a perfect fit for loft, Scandinavian, or contemporary design schemes. Assembly is also straightforward, with all necessary tools included.

• Veneer vs. Laminate: A Comparison

  The choice between wood veneer and laminate for furniture and surfaces depends on aesthetic preferences, budget, and functional needs. Veneer offers the authentic look and feel of real wood, while laminate provides a durable, low-cost, and easy-to-maintain alternative.

  Wood Veneer

  Veneer consists of thin slices of real wood that are bonded to a less expensive core material, such as MDF or particleboard.

  • Pros:

    • Authentic Appearance: It retains the natural grain, texture, and warmth of wood, making each piece unique. Furniture finished with veneer closely resembles solid wood.

    • Elegance: It provides a sophisticated and timeless look, adding warmth and coziness to an interior.

    • Eco-Friendly: More surface area can be covered with veneer from a single tree compared to using solid wood.

  • Cons:

    • Delicate: Veneer is sensitive to scratches, heat, and prolonged exposure to sunlight, which can cause discoloration.

    • Water Sensitivity: It requires careful cleaning without excessive water, as moisture can damage the surface and cause it to peel or crack.

    • Cost: It is more expensive than laminate, though still more affordable than solid wood.

    • Repair: Unlike solid wood, veneer is too thin to be sanded down to repair deep scratches or damage.

  Laminate

  Laminate is a synthetic product made from layers of paper or plastic resin, with a printed image of wood grain (or other designs) on the surface, bonded together under high pressure.

  • Pros:

    • Durability: Laminate is highly resistant to scratches, stains, and changes in humidity.

    • Low Maintenance: It is very easy to clean using standard household cleaners or just a damp cloth

    • Cost-Effective: It is an inexpensive option, making it a popular choice for budget-friendly furniture

    • Variety: Available in a vast range of colors, patterns, and finishes, including high-gloss and textured options.

  • Cons:

    • Artificial Appearance: While it can effectively imitate wood, it often lacks the authentic look and feel of a natural material.

    • Not Repairable: If the surface is significantly scratched, chipped, or burned, it cannot be refinished and may require replacement.

    • Moisture Damage: Although the surface is resistant, if water penetrates the seams or edges, the underlying core can swell and warp.
