Full details

This FurnitureboxUK Dining Set in Black is ideal for those seeking a stylish and functional dining solution that adapts to various home decors. Its key benefit is the extendable table, offering flexibility for everyday meals and entertaining. A potential consideration is the chair assembly, which, while straightforward, requires some effort. The set includes a mid-century modern extendable dining table with a solid rubberwood construction and black wood veneer, featuring an easy-to-use butterfly mechanism. It is paired with two elegantly designed black wood dining chairs, inspired by the Wishbone style, crafted from solid beech wood with comfortable woven paper rope cord seats and non-slip floor protectors. Both pieces blend timeless design with practical functionality.

FAQs

What material is the dining table made from?

The Leif dining table is constructed from 100% solid rubberwood with a black wood veneer.

How do you extend the dining table?

The table features an easy-to-operate butterfly mechanism. You simply pull either end of the table apart to open it, and then flip out the folding central section.

Are the chairs pre-assembled?

Yes, the Caia black wood dining chairs come fully assembled, so you can use them straight out of the box.

What is the style of the dining chairs?

The chairs are inspired by the Wishbone chair style, featuring clean lines, a sculptural shape, and a distinctive Y-shaped backrest.

What is the seat of the chairs made of?

Each chair boasts a woven paper rope cord seat for comfort and durability.

Will this set protect my floors?

Yes, the chairs are equipped with non-slip black foot protectors to keep your floors safe and prevent scratches.

How should I clean the dining set?

Wipe the table clean with a soft, damp cloth, avoiding abrasive cleaners. For the chairs, wipe the wood frame with a damp cloth and the paper rope seat with a slightly damp cloth and mild soap if needed, ensuring it dries thoroughly.

Troubleshooting

Table wobbles after assembly

Ensure all leg screws are securely tightened. Check if the floor surface is uneven; adjust leg placement or use a table leveller if necessary.

Extension mechanism is stiff or difficult to operate

Ensure there are no obstructions. Check for any debris in the tracks. Gently operate the mechanism several times; lubrication may be needed if the issue persists (consult product manual if available).

Scratches on the table surface

Use a furniture repair pen or wax crayon in a matching black shade to conceal minor scratches. Always use placemats and coasters to prevent future damage.

Woven seat on chairs appears loose or damaged

For minor fraying, a small amount of fabric glue can be applied discreetly. For significant damage, professional repair or replacement of the seat may be required.

Black veneer peeling on the table

This may indicate damage from excessive heat or moisture. Minor peeling can sometimes be adhered with wood glue and clamped, but significant peeling may require professional refinishing.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Table Setup:

  1. Unpack all components and check for any damage.
  2. Identify the table legs and the tabletop.
  3. Attach the legs to the underside of the tabletop following the provided instructions. Typically, this involves screwing the legs into pre-drilled holes or mounting brackets.
  4. Ensure all screws are tightened securely but avoid over-tightening, which could strip the wood.

Compatibility:

Care Instructions:

  • Table: Wipe clean with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid using abrasive cleaners or harsh chemicals. For spills, wipe immediately to prevent staining. Use coasters to protect the surface from heat and moisture.
  • Chairs: The solid beech wood frame can be wiped clean with a damp cloth. For the woven paper rope seat, use a slightly damp cloth and mild soap if necessary, then wipe with a clean, dry cloth. Ensure the seat is fully dry before use. Avoid prolonged exposure to direct sunlight or excessive moisture.
