Hello everyone,
We are looking for a solid wood dining table about 240cm (95 inches) long to comfortably seat 10 people.

Does anyone have any recommendations?

We are thinking of oak for the color. We really like an X-shaped black frame for the base.

Best regards and thanks

We were looking for something similar and most likely found a local option. We would like an extendable table made of solid oak that offers as much flexibility as possible. If the impression on site is right, we will purchase it from a carpenter near my hometown. There, we can get a table measuring 200x90cm (79x35 inches), with two 50cm (20 inch) butterfly extensions and one 50cm (20 inch) end extension. Additionally, we can influence other details of the table itself. Let’s see how it goes, and the price remains reasonably within range (considering solid wood and local craftsmanship).

And as I said, there will never be 14 people working on 2.6 m (8.5 ft).

@hampshire Amazing view, if I may say so.

Thank you. It could definitely be worse. Open windows are simply wonderful in this beautiful golden October weather. Unfortunately, I can’t capture the circling kites in the photo. Here is the other side of the dining table with a different view...
Living room with wooden table, glass sliding doors, and balcony view of green rolling hills.

Let’s put it this way: we can fit 14 chairs at about 2.7m (8.9 feet). That means having two chairs each at the head and foot ends, with a width of 105cm (41 inches) per person.

It’s possible in an extreme case, but certainly not comfortable. It’s more comfortable with 10–12 chairs.

Pictures will follow this evening.

I found one:

Long wooden table with dark gray upholstered chairs; high chair with tray in the foreground.

And the junior boss/fin sits prominently at the head and holds court while the breakfast directors on the right and left serve as the backdrop. Great.
