Three trades. One roof. Your table.
Every table you configure here is made to order in our Cumbrian workshop. Our joiners cut, joint, strengthen and hand-finish the top. Our welding team fabricates the steel legs from scratch. Our finishing team applies wax or oil and inspects every piece before it's carefully and robustly packed by our packing team, then delivered by our dedicated two-man courier team.
Your table
The picture is your table as designed above. Change anything and it updates.
The timber makes the table
Two timbers, same price. Reclaimed elm is our recommended choice — a dense hardwood we've made available as a free upgrade. Pine remains the option for those who prefer a lighter, more classic look.
Reclaimed Elm
Aged character in every board. Reclaimed elm is denser and stronger than pine, with a fine straight grain and subtle pin knots. Because supply is limited we've made it available at the same price as pine — a free upgrade while stocks last.
Rustic Pine
Warm honey tone with distinctive round dark knots. Rustic Weathered keeps the arced Swedish saw marks across the face, where the wax catches; Modern Planed is planed smooth to take them away, leaving a clean, even surface.
Seven finishes, one board
Each finish is applied in two coats and hand-buffed. Toggle between Rustic Weathered (surface texture kept) and Modern Planed (smooth top).
Grow your table from 6 to 12 in 4 minutes
Every extendable Acumen table is made from a single full-length top (table + leaves), then cut apart. That way the grain runs continuously from the main table across every leaf — no colour mismatch, no visible seam, every leaf a perfect match. When you need the space, slide the leaves back in on a slide-out steel cantilever frame.
- Two leaves, one each end · 20 / 30 / 40 / 50 cm sizes
- Cut from your table's own top · continuous grain, seamless fit
- Slide-out steel cantilever frame · no wobble, no drop
- 4-minute set-up · single-person friendly, Allen key supplied
How your table is made
Steel legs fabricated
Your leg design is cut from 80 × 40 mm mild steel box section and hand-welded by our welding team. Welds penetrate the steel — unbreakable joints. Legs then go for powder coating in your chosen finish.
Timber selected & top made
Our joiners hand-pick boards for grain and colour match, then cut, joint and strengthen your table top. Every plank in your table shares a family — batched together from the start.
Hand finished
Two coats of Fiddes wax (or hard wax oil), applied and hand-buffed by our finishing team. Every top is inspected before it leaves the finishing bench.
Packed & delivered
Wrapped and boxed by our packing team, then delivered by our dedicated two-man courier team. We call to book a delivery slot with you.

Frequently asked
How do I choose between reclaimed elm and rustic pine?
Both are the same price — reclaimed elm is a free upgrade. Elm is denser and stronger with a fine straight grain and small dark pin knots. Pine is warmer in tone with distinctive round dark knots and, on Rustic Weathered, arced Swedish saw marks. Order samples from Complete the Set above to see both in person.
What's the difference between Rustic Weathered and Modern Planed?
On reclaimed elm, Rustic Weathered goes through a specialist wire-brushing machine that lifts the softer fibres out of the grain, leaving fine grooves you can feel, and the wax settles into them for two tones; Modern Planed is planed smooth with the fine fibres left in the grain, so the wax is taken up evenly. On rustic pine, Rustic Weathered keeps the arced Swedish saw marks across the face, where the wax catches around the round knots; Modern Planed is planed smooth to take the saw marks away, leaving a clean, even surface. The wax colours are the same either way: the difference is the surface.
How much space do I need around a 180 × 110 table?
Industry rule of thumb: leave 90 cm clearance on each side so chairs can pull out comfortably. A 180 × 110 table therefore needs a room space of at least 360 × 290 cm. Extending? Add the leaf length to your table dimension, not to the clearance.
Can you match a specific RAL colour on the legs?
Yes — any RAL colour, powder-coated, for a £100 surcharge. Ideal for matching kitchen cabinets, radiators or a design accent. Send us the RAL code at checkout in the order notes, or we'll email you after order confirmation to confirm your choice.
How do the extendable leaves attach and where do I store them?
Slide the leaves out on the built-in cantilever frame with the supplied Allen key — a 4-minute single-person job. Leaves store separately from the table when not in use (they're not stored inside). Same-timber, same-finish match — cut from your table's own top for continuous grain.
What's your delivery process for larger tables?
Free UK mainland delivery on every table via our dedicated two-man courier team. We contact you 3–5 days before shipping to book a convenient day. Saturday delivery included at no surcharge across most of UK mainland. 5-minute set-up on arrival with the supplied fixings.
How do I care for the finish long-term?
Wax Polish tables benefit from an occasional wax refresh with the Fiddes Wax Care Pack (in Complete the Set above). Hard Wax Oil tables need less maintenance — the finish is more durable to spills and heat. Always use coasters and place mats to protect the finish under hot or wet items.
Can I cancel or return my order?
Cancellations within 14 days of ordering. Once production has started (material ordering, cutting, jointing, finishing, packing) a restocking fee of up to 20% may apply. See our Terms & Conditions for full details.
