For added flexibility with your dining table, consider a Beaumont end extension table. This modern Parsons style table extends by adding leaves to the ends. With this design, the grain on the leaves runs across the table, creating a breadboard effect. The other dominant feature of this design is the legs themselves. The post legs come through the top of the table so you can see the difference in the grain. These corner accents become a focal point of this design. There may be a bit of ridge where the post meets the table top.
The key characteristics of this design are the corner post legs with the skirt. This structure provides a lot of strength and stability. With the legs tucked into the corners you can seat people as you like along the sides, giving lots of room for chair legs and people's legs. While this design does make it difficult to use the corners for seating, it gives you a lot of flexibility on how to use the table overall. On the Beaumont End Extension table, we strongly recommend 24" leaves to give the person sitting at the leaf enough space without crowding them into the post leg. Other design details include a 6/4" thick table top with a traditional square Seymour edge.
We build every table to order so you can have the table that is perfect for you. We can customize the size, the wood, the finish, the edge and the base so the table fits your style and your needs. Whatever you choose, you can be confident that you will receive a beautiful hardwood table, custom built for you.

Important Notes:
All of our tables are made from solid hardwood. As a natural product, each piece of wood has its own uniqueness.
- Natural wood has variation in the grain.
- Solid wood will expand and contract in different climates
- Most of our walnut has sap wood, which introduces some variance in color into the wood
For us, these properties make these tables more interesting. If you have any questions, please reach out.
Getting your table to you safely is part of our commitment to you. You’ve made the investment in high quality hardwood furniture and we’ve taken the time to build and finish it just for you.
Once your table has cured and is ready to go, there are several ways that we can get it to you. Where you live is a big factor in which options are available for your delivery.
The first way we can ship is with a freight carrier. With this option we will pack your table up in 2-3 boxes. The carrier will make an appointment with you and bring it to your driveway. You will need to bring the table in and assemble it. Typically you will receive your table within 2 weeks of shipping.
The second option is a white glove delivery service. This option is available in most metro areas of the US. With white glove delivery we blanket wrap your table and send it to our partner in North Carolina who then forwards it through their system. Once it arrives in the last mile hub they will make an appointment. Two people will bring your table to your home, set it up and take the packing materials away. With our white glove partner you will usually receive your table within 2-4 weeks of shipping.
The final delivery option we offer is to deliver your table ourselves. Where possible this is our preferred option as it gives us the opportunity to meet you and reduces the number of hands involved in getting it to you. Currently we deliver to the Northeast US and Southern Ontario. We are working on adding additional destinations. With this delivery option we schedule appointments for our van and driver on a route through multiple states. This means that we need to work together to work with your schedules and ours. Depending on the size of your table, our driver may need help to bring the table in and to flip it over. With our own deliveries, you will usually receive your table within 2-4 weeks of when it is finished.
As a general note, shipping is included in the prices we quote. Each situation is really quite unique so we would be happy to chat about what delivery can look like for you, based on your table, your location, and your schedule.
Whichever delivery option you choose, you will receive a table built specifically for you. We will build, finish and pack your table which takes 5-7 weeks. After that we arrange for shipping. If you need your table sooner, we may be able to expedite production or the shipping. In this case, reach out to us and we’re happy to chat about what the options could be.
