ERYE Round Extendable Dining Table 42"

Look under this 42-inch round table and the joinery is on show. Its X-shaped base is held together with keyed-through tenons, and small wooden blocks line the edge of the top. With a leaf set between the halves, the table stretches to 56 inches and seats six.

Edges on the planked top are eased, so your forearms rest on a softened line instead of a sharp corner. Oak veneer covers a top of MDF and rubber wood, and the legs are poplar. Keep a drill ready for assembly and the load under 300 pounds. Once built, the table needs a 42-inch doorway, so put it together where it will stay.
