The Amish House Cambridge Trestle Table

A solid top table is built as a single, continuous piece of wood without seams, offering a sleek, uninterrupted surface. The extension leaf options include either removable leaves or a butterfly mechanism, allowing you to increase the table's length to accommodate extra guests when needed.

Consider both the aesthetic and the durability you require. Harder woods like maple or oak offer high resistance to dents and scratches, making them ideal for high-traffic family dining, while cherry or walnut provide distinct grain patterns and rich color profiles that deepen over time.

The Cambridge Trestle design is engineered to maximize seating capacity. By positioning the support structure toward the center, it allows for comfortable legroom around the entire perimeter of the table, including the head and foot positions.

Maintain your table by dusting regularly with a soft, dry cloth and avoiding harsh chemical cleaners. To protect the finish, use coasters and placemats, and try to keep the table away from direct heat sources or extreme humidity fluctuations, which can cause the wood to expand or contract.

The storage capability depends on the specific leaf mechanism you select. Butterfly leaves are designed to fold and store directly beneath the tabletop, while removable leaves typically require separate storage in a climate-controlled area of your home.
