The West Elm Dining Table I Recommend for Every Home Is on Major Sale

It wasn’t until I got my first piece of West Elm furniture that my home finally felt like it was coming together. Before that, I was already well acquainted with West Elm’s furniture because I look at it in-store every couple of months for Apartment Therapy’s Personal Shopper series. The pieces are all clean but stylish, so anyone can find something to match their home’s aesthetic — including West Elm’s dining tables. 

Although many are on the larger side, there are some models that’ll fit in small spaces, either because they’re extendable or because they come in multiple sizes. The mid-century extendable dining table falls into both camps, and it’s currently on sale! If your current dining table needs a swap, I think you’ll love this pick, so be sure to shop it for less before the week is over.

The dining table is available in up to three finishes depending on the size you choose. If you opt for the medium size, which is 60 inches long and expandable to 80 inches, you can shop it in Acorn, Black and Cerused White finish. The largest size, which expands up to 92 inches, comes in Acorn and Cerused White, while the smallest size just comes in Acorn, a warm-toned medium brown.

The Acorn version is made of solid eucalyptus wood for the legs and frame, while the top is made of engineered wood top and has a walnut veneer. Like a lot of West Elm’s wooden furniture, the table has been kiln-dried for extra durability, so it’s not likely to crack or split with long-term daily use. 

No matter which size you choose, it comes with a drop-in leaf that you can use to expand the table’s surface. Simply pull the two ends of the tabletop apart, drop the leaf in the middle, and your table will be able to accommodate anywhere from two to four extra people!

As someone who lives in a small apartment, I was delighted to find that this table comes in a small enough size to seat two to four people. When closed, the smallest version has a tabletop that measures just 39 inches long, which is perfect for a tiny dining room and a household of one to two people. Whenever you host guests, you can just expand the top and seat two more.

The initial Personal Shopper review of this item describes the mid-century table as “an easygoing addition to pretty much any decor scheme,” thanks to its slender legs and unobtrusive support beams. Even though the smallest size is only currently available in one finish, I think you’ll have no problem making it blend in with your decor and finding cute dining chairs to match. Plus, mid-century furniture is timeless, effortless, and trend-proof.

Now that the table is on sale, it’s definitely worth grabbing. Normally priced at $799, the 39-inch version was already a steal for West Elm. Discounted to $639, it’s a no-brainer. Take advantage of the markdown while it’s still live, and outfit your dining room in style.
