Amish Furniture Factory Cambridge Trestle Dining Table

The equalizer slide mechanism allows you to open or close the table by pulling on one end. As you pull one side, the other side moves simultaneously, ensuring the table expands smoothly and stays balanced without needing two people to operate it.

The trestle base is designed to provide maximum stability while keeping the footprint under the table relatively open. While the legs are substantial, they are positioned to allow for comfortable seating at the head and foot of the table, though you should measure your dining chairs to ensure they tuck in fully.

Because of the table's weight and solid wood construction, assembly typically involves attaching the trestle base to the tabletop and securing the support stretchers. You will need basic tools and likely a second person to help flip the table once assembled.

A one-inch thick solid wood top is standard for high-quality dining tables and is designed to withstand daily wear. While solid wood is durable, it is a natural material that can dent or scratch if not cared for, so we recommend using placemats or coasters to protect the finish over time.

Different wood species vary in hardness and grain pattern, which impacts both the look and the table's resistance to dents. Harder woods like oak or maple are generally more resistant to daily wear than softer woods, though all solid wood options provided are chosen for their structural integrity and longevity.

Yes, the table is designed to accommodate leaf storage, which helps keep your dining area organized when the table is not fully extended. Please verify the specific storage capacity for your chosen size, as the number of leaves can vary based on your configuration.
