Harcourt Double Pedestal Table

SIZE: My wife and I love our table. We're a large, nuclear family (four children). We eat together at least once a day; we play lots of board games, and there's lots of homework! Our extended family lives nearby so we wanted a table large enough to seat them. Once the two leaves are out, we can seat 10 comfortably. (Maybe 12 ... if they really like their neighbors.) STYLE: We liked this table for its simplicity and traditional Japanese (through tenon and trestle legs) look. Our children tend to make lots of messes so working around the feet is easy (Roomba is more thorough as well). We also like the ability to fit chairs where the legs rest, comfortably. FIT FINISH: The table is well made. The finish is even, hard, and beautiful. We chose Oak with Winter Bark to contrast our natural hickory floors. I have two complaints. The first is the joinery where the two edges meet in the middle. There's a slight bow in the middle which causes a 1/16th gap on each end. Not a huge deal, and to be expected from handmade furniture. My second issue is the through tenon. It's not real. The ends are faux covers to hide the bolts that hold the table together. The description even states "mortise & tenon trestle". I may end up making my own someday when the warranty and kids are gone. COMPANY: They're very communicative and friendly. The delivery company set up the table and made sure it was level and we were happy. We'll be buying from them again.

We could not be happier with the furniture from Countryside. It is extremely well-built and beautiful. We get compliments on it from everyone who sees it.

The table is gorgeous! The artistry that went into the table is just amazing! This is the most beautiful table we have owned. It is lovely! I love having friends and family over for meals -- so all can enjoy it!

The Harcourt Contemporary Pedestal Table and the Chasten Dining Chairs are absolutely, utterly, completely GORGEOUS!!! I get this soft smile every time I walk by or sit down - still, after all this time. They're classically beautiful together. The curves. The wood grain. The craftsmanship. And the delivery was flawless. Polite. Efficient. Carefully intelligent. But back to the table and chairs - I mean it - they have become the centerpiece of the great room. And the stain is absolutely perfect.

Here is a picture of my table in the dining room. I just LOVE it!!!

We are enjoying our furniture in our new lake home. It perfectly fits our style of rustic elegance. It is well constructed and will be enjoyed for many generations. Thank you for providing a very high quality product.

I highly recommend this company. The quality of craftsmanship is excellent. The table & chairs arrived sooner than expected.

We absolutely love our new dining room table. We could not be any happier with our purchase. Also, the delivery person was amazing. We live in a residential neighborhood and because of the size of his truck, he had to dolly it down the street, in below zero temps. He was awesome, careful with the assembly, and friendly. We also appreciated the demonstration on the butterfly leaves.

We’d never ordered a piece of furniture online before. We were so pleased with the finished product! Our dining set is beautiful, sturdy, and comfortable.

I picked this table for two key reasons. First, you can sit anywhere and not bump your knees. Second, it expands to a whopping 15 feet long. This was the only table I found that satisfied both of those requirements, and I'm happy to report that it delivered on both. Resizing the table is easy, and it's so well made that no latch is required to hold the leaves in place. The legs have a nifty little adjustable foot, so that the table remains stable even if the floor isn't quite perfectly level. Customer service was great, the delivery was easy to schedule, and assembly was quick. Overall, 5/5. I'm very happy with our purchase.
