Care and Use
Caring for your Transformer Dining Set is straightforward and simple. After all, solid wood dining tables are built to last, with a little care, of course. In fact, it is recommended to wipe surfaces with a soft, damp cloth and mild wood cleaner. However, be sure to wipe along the grain, helping preserve the natural beauty and longevity of your extendable dining set.
Finally, avoid using harsh cleaning agents as these can damage and potentially strip the wood’s finish over time. Designed to resist scratches, stains, and spills, our extendable dining sets and extendable round dining sets make for a durable addition to your home.
Factors to Consider Before Purchasing an Extendable Dining Set
Before purchasing an extendable dining set, it is important to ask yourself a few key questions: How many people do you expect to regularly host? Do you prefer rectangular or round dining tables? What style dining table best suits your space, and most importantly, can you trust this dining set’s craftsmanship?
-
Assess your Space and Layout
The first step when purchasing an extendable dining room set is assessing your space and layout. In other words, what size dining table do I need? Fortunately, our Transformer Dining Sets adapt to living spaces of all sizes, featuring a seamless extension mechanism.
Whether you are working with an expansive dining room, or a cozy nook, the Transformer Table extends from 18” to 118” with ease. The Transformer Round Dining Table, by contrast, measures 30" high by 45" wide and 45" long, with each extension panel adding 20". Indeed, space constraints are of no concern with our space-saving dining tables. -
Shape
Now that you’ve decided the perfect size for your dining table, it is time to consider shape. Transformer Table offers best-sellers in both traditional rectangular extendable dining sets and extendable round dining table sets. After all, each comes with their own set of unique advantages and benefits.
Rectangular extendable dining sets maximize seating capacity and fit beautifully in long, narrow rooms, while extendable round dining tables encourage conversation and create a more intimate dining experience. Once again, the choice is yours! -
Panel Storage
Another key consideration when buying an extendable dining set is panel storage. Put simply, where do you expect to store the additional panels when not in use? While a storage closet works perfectly fine, Transformer Table has carefully devised convenient storage solutions for your extra panels.
Indeed, our Transformer Coffee Table is the ideal storage solution for your Transformer Table panels, fitting all five conveniently, while our Transformer Round Sideboard is perfect for the three additional panels from the Round Dining Table. -
Style
An extendable dining table set will ultimately anchor your living space for years to come, making style an integral part of any purchasing decision.
Our Transformer Dining Sets embody timeless elegance, offering up to six versatile finishes and colours, including Scandinavian Oak, Smoked Hickory, American Walnut, Dark Walnut, Canadian Birch, and American Silver Birch. Whether you prefer modern or traditional, there is a Transformer Table finish to match your style. -
Craftsmanship
Finally, and arguably most importantly, craftsmanship is yet another key consideration when purchasing an extendable dining room set. To put it lightly, an extendable dining set is not something that should need replacing every year. And our Transformer Dining sets have been crafted with longevity and durability in mind.
Built with sustainably-sourced solid wood, our Transformer Table, Round Dining Table, Transformer Benches, and Transformer Chairs, are designed to last a lifetime of delicious meals, family gatherings, and endless memories. In other words, craftsmanship you can trust and build around.
