Product Information
Full details
The Alba Oak Flip Top Dining Table is designed for homeowners living in compact spaces who frequently host guests and require a flexible dining solution. This versatile piece offers the significant benefit of doubling its length from 85cm to 170cm via a simple flip-top mechanism, allowing you to transition from a cozy breakfast setting to a full-sized dinner party table instantly. While it provides excellent functionality and durable construction, users should note that the light oak finish requires careful maintenance to preserve its protective lacquer against moisture and heat.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Assembly is straightforward, typically involving attaching the legs to the main table frame using the provided hardware. Once assembled, ensure all bolts are tightened securely. The table is compatible with a wide range of chair styles, though low-profile seating complements the modern aesthetic best. For routine care, wipe the surface with a soft, dry cloth. For deeper cleaning, use a slightly damp cloth followed by an immediate dry wipe. Avoid harsh chemical cleaners or furniture polishes with silicone, as these can degrade the lacquer over time. Keep the table away from direct heat sources like radiators to prevent the wood from drying out or warping.
