Try antique shops!! 'Brown' furniture, as it's called, is relatively cheap at the moment. We found a fabulous extending table (seats 6 comfortably, extending to 8/10), with 8 matching chairs which had been newly upholstered, for just £530. And free delivery!!!

Also, as well as *bricks and mortar* antique shops, try online on Antiques Atlas/eBay etc for antique/vintage tables.....as trailingspouse says, you might find a bargain

Most our furniture - admittedly we prefer pieces with a bit of history which isn't what everyone is looking for - has been bought either on eBay, antique fairs or at auction and whilst some items have been real bargains we have been known to spend several thousand on one piece so it's not all cheap, unfashionable tat as some people expect

What did you say about Extension dining table. You can find on ebay, like offered by homescapes. Hope this can help you.

Homescapes are 1.8m.

I found two that are each 2.2m, extending to 3.1, at Pine Solutions:

Delaware Oak
Dunston Oak

This one can be either 2.2, 2.65, or 3.1 long, at Great Furniture Trading Co:

Rustique

This one extends from 2-3m, but if you extended one side it'd be 2.5m:

Madrid

I can't vouch for any of these companies or items as I've not used them, but some of them might work for you.

A company that I can vouch for is Scumble Goosie - they make custom furniture at pretty reasonable prices. They don't usually use oak, but might be worth considering.

I'm not buying from them. They are spamming MSE with their own products, reported.

Try antique fairs, not the little crappy ones but the big ones at Newark, Swinderby and Ardingly. they attract a lot of sellers from Europe especially the Ardingly one.


Next Newark one is 6-7th Feb.

Anyone know of a supplier of oak dining room tables?

The requirements I have are about 2.4 by 1 metre before it's extended. Up to 2.8-3 metres.

Extending leaves stored as part of the table.

I was sad to hear about your mate Trigger, my condolences go out to you.

Furniture barn have lots of oak furniture.

I really liked a Neptune oak extending table at a local showroom, until the saleswoman showed me the colour it would go within around 6 months (yellow) and told me that I'd have to keep the extra leaves out of the table so that they would "yellow together".

I'm not paying top dollar for a table that turns yellow within 6 months and can't use the internal storage for the extra bits! :mad:
