Ohlsson's dining table designs featured seamless integration between the legs and the apron, giving the impression that the table's frame is a single carved piece. Softly curved edges and rounded corners compliment the smooth rectangular taper of the solid teak legs. A recessed apron allows for most armchairs to fit comfortably at the ends.

The table features a compartment for internal leaf storage and an expansion mechanism that can be operated by one person. With both leaves inserted, it reaches a maximum length of 108 inches, accommodating up to 10 guests comfortably.

At 42 inches across the table leaves room for shared dishes in the center in addition to 10 individual place settings. A beautiful and practical piece that's perfect for entertaining as well as everyday use.

The table is newly refinished in a durable satin lacquer and hardly shows its age. See less
