Description
This sturdy dining table is a timeless style for your home. It's easy to extend to offer additional seating space for up to 8 guests. Practical and robust, the solid oak option showcases the appeal of natural wood grains. The washed grey option is crafted from oak veneers, beech solids, particle board and MDF, and its smart painted finish makes it a versatile choice for almost any interior style.
Our Stylist Says
This farm-fresh oak dining table is a practical yet stylish choice that can anchor a variety of interiors. I love its clean lines and versatile design, making it suitable for both contemporary and more traditional spaces. Its extendable feature is particularly useful for hosting gatherings, providing flexibility without sacrificing style. For styling, pair it with mixed-material chairs or upholstered seats for added texture. Balancing its natural wood tone with a neutral or patterned runner can soften its look, or elevate it with statement lighting overhead. Overall, it's a solid, functional piece that works well in open-plan kitchens or dining rooms aiming for a warm, inviting feel.

A Legacy of Innovation and Inclusion
John Lewis started as a small shop on London's Oxford Street in 1864. Today, it's part of a bigger family called the John Lewis Partnership, which also includes Waitrose stores.
What makes them special is that they're owned by their employees, known as 'Partners'. The idea, from the beginning, was to give everyone a say in how the business was run. With over 74,000 Partners (employees) at the heart of its operations, the essence of John Lewis's vision, from over a century ago, still echoes today being the largest employee-owned venture.
Adapting to Changing Times
Like many stores, John Lewis has had to change with the times. They've closed some shops but have grown their online business a lot, especially when more people started shopping online during the COVID-19 pandemic.
Their history is filled with key moments, like buying Peter Jones in 1905, adding Waitrose in 1937, and starting their website in 2001. They've always tried to adapt and stay relevant.
Commitment to a Greater Purpose
John Lewis believes in doing good and making the world a better place. This is seen in the way they treat their employees and customers. For example, in 2021, they were the first big UK store to give parents six months paid leave when they have a baby and two weeks paid leave if they lose a pregnancy. They've been around for over a century and always aim to do the right thing by everyone.
