Using your Adler Extendable Dining Table is a breeze. When you need extra space for guests, simply remove the extension leaves from their storage (usually under the table) and insert them into the center of the table. You can use one or both leaves depending on how many people you're seating. The table can comfortably accommodate up to 8 people when both leaves are in place. When not in use, just reverse the process to return the table to its smaller size. For maintenance, use a soft, dry cloth to wipe the tabletop regularly. Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners as they can damage the oak veneer finish. Since the table is oversized and non-returnable, handle it with care during moving or cleaning. If you notice any damages or defects, contact us right away and we'll send you a replacement.
