Lyndon Furniture Shaker Extension Table

The table features a hinged top that opens to reveal a self-storing leaf. You simply slide the table ends apart, unfold the leaf from its storage compartment, and lock it into place, eliminating the need to store a separate leaf in a closet.

Yes, Lyndon Furniture constructs this piece using solid wood. This ensures a sturdy, high-quality build that is more durable and repairable than tables made with veneers or particle board.

To keep the wood in top condition, wipe it down with a soft, damp cloth and avoid harsh chemical cleaners. We recommend using a high-quality furniture wax or polish occasionally to maintain the luster and protect the finish from moisture.

While capacity depends on the size of your chairs, the butterfly extension typically adds enough surface area to accommodate two additional place settings. It is designed to transition easily from an intimate setup for four to a larger configuration for six or more.

While one person can operate the mechanism thanks to the smooth metal slides, it is often easier to have two people pull the ends apart simultaneously. This ensures the table opens evenly and prevents any unnecessary strain on the hinges.
