Choose between a classic fixed table or an extending version with two leaves for extra seating.

How our extending tables work

All of our rectangular and square tables can be manufactured as extending tables. We can extend them by up to 45 cm at each end, with the extension leaves stored away when not in use. When the leaves are in place, the wood grain aligns seamlessly with the existing table, as all this timber is derived from the same board.

When the table is not extended, the metal supports beneath can be removed swiftly—without the need for any tools. So for most of the year, when only a smaller table is needed, no one will suspect it is extendable. And when guests arrive, you can quickly and easily adjust the table size to accommodate them.

Tip: A 120cm width seats 2 guests comfortably at each end. Extensions add seating for 4 guests comfortably, or 6 at a squeeze.

Delivery details

Our workshop team will deliver your table, assemble it in your home, and make sure everything's perfect

We don't use couriers. Our own team will bring your table into your home, unpack it, and put it together for you. They work in our workshop and know these tables inside out, so you can be sure everything is set up exactly as it should be.

  • Expert Assembly: Most of our tables are delivered in parts so we can get them through your doors easily. We will assemble the table in your room of choice and take all the packaging away with us.
  • Workshop Knowledge: Since our drivers are part of our making team, they understand the timber and the joinery better than anyone. They are happy to answer any questions while they are there.
  • Looking after your table: Before we leave, we will show you how to care for the wood and give you a set of instructions to help it last a lifetime.
Care guide

Oak and walnut are alive with subtle change and character. Each table is sealed with our durable lacquer finish to safeguard its beauty, and with simple, attentive care, the wood will mature with elegance for generations.

  • Daily Maintenance: Dust regularly with a soft cloth to keep the surface clean, or use a lightly damp cloth for everyday cleaning, ensuring you dry the surface immediately afterward.
  • Spills & Protection: Wipe up spills promptly and always try to use coasters, placemats, or trivets under hot or wet items.
  • What to avoid: Preserve the finish by avoiding abrasive cleaners, ammonia, or alcohol, and keep the furniture away from direct sunlight and heat sources.

Our Lifetime Guarantee

We take immense pride in our work and truly believe the furniture we make should be enjoyed for a lifetime and beyond. All our dining tables are covered by a Lifetime Guarantee on structural integrity and craftsmanship, so you can buy with confidence knowing we stand behind what we build. If you ever have a question about care or need a repair further down the line, just get in touch with the workshop - we’re here to help.

Made for Grand Spaces

The Bulb is a true statement piece. Inspired by the domed architecture of the Renaissance, its sculptural form balances strength with elegance in equal measure. Crafted from solid oak, the bold dome shape is best suited to larger tables and generous spaces, where it can be appreciated in full.

The Family Behind the Furniture

Welcome to Ennis & Brown, we're a family-run furniture studio based at our farmyard showroom in Tring, Hertfordshire, crafting bespoke and ready-to-deliver furniture built to last generations. What began in 1989 as a small shop in a converted pig barn has grown into a three-generation business, where brothers Nick and Justin, alongside their father Paul, continue Grandad Ennis's tradition of handcrafted quality using carefully selected timber.

Every piece we create - from bespoke dining tables to elegant benches and sideboards - is made with genuine care and attention to detail. Visit our showroom to experience our craftsmanship firsthand (and meet Winnie the pig, Rain the horse, and Barney Boy the dog!), or explore our collections online. We're here to help you create furniture you'll love forever.
