Canal Dover McKinley Dining Table

The table uses a gear-equalizing wood slide system that allows you to pull the ends apart smoothly. The leaves are stored directly inside the table, so you can expand your seating space without needing to find extra storage for the panels.

Yes, the table is finished with a catalyzed conversion varnish. This is a high-performance, water-resistant coating designed to withstand daily wear, spills, and the general activity of a family home.

Breadboard ends are a traditional woodworking technique where boards are attached perpendicularly to the ends of the tabletop. Beyond the classic aesthetic, this design helps the solid wood top expand and contract naturally with humidity changes, which prevents warping over time.

The table requires assembly, primarily attaching the trestle base to the tabletop. While it is a straightforward process, we recommend having two people on hand to safely maneuver and flip the table once the base is secured.

The trestle base is designed to offer maximum legroom compared to traditional four-leg tables. Because the supports are centered, you can typically tuck chairs in more easily along the sides without bumping into table legs.

To maintain the finish, simply wipe the table down with a soft, damp cloth and mild soap when needed. Avoid harsh chemical cleaners or abrasive sponges, and use coasters or placemats to protect the surface from extreme heat or moisture.
