This is one of those pieces that really changes depending on how you use it. Closed, it’s a solid everyday dining table, but once you start adding the leaves it becomes something much larger, almost more like a conference table. It’s a very practical design, but it still keeps that warm and relaxed feeling Frank was known for.

The top is in mahogany with softly rounded corners, which takes away some of the rigidity you often get with larger tables. There’s also a subtle contrast in the detailing that gives it a bit more depth without making it feel busy.

Closed, the length is about 59.1 inches, and fully extended it reaches around 153.5 inches. Width is approximately 43.3 inches and height about 28.7 inches. Each leaf measures roughly 23.6 inches, and additional support legs are used when fully extended to keep everything stable.

What we like about it is the flexibility. It can stay quite minimal day to day, but it has the ability to open up into something much more substantial when needed, which is not always easy to find.

As with all vintage pieces, signs of use are part of the story. Colors can look slightly different depending on the light. If you’d like more photos or details, just let me know. See less
