The Amish House Amish Colonial Double Pedestal Dining Table

A solid top table is a single, fixed piece of wood without extensions. Choosing leaves allows you to expand the table length for hosting, with the butterfly leaf option offering a convenient self-storing mechanism that folds directly into the table.

All available hardwoods are durable, but they vary in grain pattern and hardness. For example, Hickory and Quartersawn White Oak are exceptionally dense and resistant to wear, while Brown Maple and Cherry offer smoother, more uniform grain patterns that take stains very evenly.

No, the round-over edge is actually quite practical. By softening the sharp 90-degree corner, it makes the edge more resistant to chipping and more comfortable for guests to lean against during long meals.

The double pedestal design is specifically engineered to maximize legroom. Because the supports are positioned under the table rather than at the corners, you can place chairs anywhere around the perimeter without hitting table legs.

To maintain the finish, use a soft, damp cloth for regular cleaning and avoid harsh chemical cleaners. It is also important to keep the table away from direct heat sources or extreme humidity fluctuations, which can cause solid wood to expand or contract over time.

The 42" x 60" size is the most compact option, making it suitable for smaller dining areas. Since the table is oval-shaped, it creates better traffic flow in tight spaces compared to a rectangular table with sharp corners.
