Seats four on a quiet weeknight, six when the in-laws come Sunday.

The 63-inch top extends to accommodate the extra plates, then folds back without leaving a seam you have to apologize for. A long bench on one side, chairs on the other — better use of square footage than a chair on every edge, and the bench tucks under the table when you need the floor back.

Solid surface, easy wipe-down, handles hot plates and the toddler's spaghetti night.

Three pieces in one shipment. Replaces the apartment-sized table you've been quietly outgrowing.
