Country Double Extension Dining Table - Old Elm | Online8 New Zealand Around 80 years of history, rebuilt for the modern dining room: this reclaimed Old Elm extension table is crafted from timber salvaged from old houses, vintage boats and historic building materials. A double butterfly mechanism expands it through three lengths, taking it from a comfortable eight-seater to a generous twelve-seater in seconds. Because the elm is genuinely reclaimed, natural variation in grain, colour and texture is expected and celebrated, so no two tables are the same. Why It Stands Apart Reclaimed Timber (~80 years old): Old Elm sourced from old houses, vintage boats and historic materials, with natural imperfections, knots and weathered textures preserved. Double Butterfly Mechanism: Two hidden leaves expand the table through 2100mm, 2600mm and 3100mm. Smooth Roller Technology: A stainless steel roller system automatically centres the top at any length. Seats 8 to 12: Adjusts from a comfortable eight-seater to a generous twelve-seater for large gatherings. Exceptional Durability: Elm's interlocking grain and resistance to splitting have made it a craftsman's timber for centuries.
