Care and Use

Your Transformer Dining Set is where family moments unfold, from weeknight meals to long Sunday lunches, and with the right care, it will stay beautiful for years. To maintain its natural finish, simply wipe the surface with a soft, damp cloth and a mild wood cleaner, following the grain for the best results. This simple routine helps protect the solid wood texture and keeps your extendable dining table looking timeless.


Equally important, avoid abrasive pads or harsh chemicals, as these can strip or dull the surface. Designed to resist scratches, stains, and spills, your extendable dining set is made to handle the pace of modern life and regular gatherings. With just a little attention, your extendable dining set will remain the centrepiece of your home for generations to come.

Factors to Consider Before Purchasing an Extendable Dining Set

Before investing in an extendable dining set, it is important to think about how you live and host. Do you regularly welcome large groups for Sunday lunches or holiday celebrations, or do you prefer smaller, more intimate meals? Would a rectangular dining table suit your open-plan layout, or would a round dining table create the inviting, communal feel you’re after? And above all, can you rely on the craftsmanship to last through years of meals, gatherings, and everyday use? Choosing the right dining set means balancing practicality, style, and durability to ensure it becomes the true centrepiece of your home.
