Tables are generally 6 feet long and extend to 10-12 feet with leaves. A typical mahogany pedestal table will stand on two Duncan Phyfe pedestals.  10-foot tables are considered standard long dining room tables (rectangular )and 12-foot tables are banquet tables or extra long dining room tables. Extra-large dining tables with leaves like these may have a third pedestal for extra support.  Dining room tables with three pedestals are called triple pedestal tables.  Extra-long dining tables, whether they have three pedestals or not, will have heavier pedestals and stronger slides.  Most of the slides on our extendable banquet tables are American made and are made of steel. American slides are very strong.

The industry standard finish on all higher-end American tables is nitrocellulose lacquer. This type of lacquer is glossy, perfectly clear, durable, and very resistant. Lacquer is the best protection for your table. We discuss individual table finishes in the product description.
