Sonoma™ 8-10 Seater Extending Dining Table

Was delivered as a very well prepared and protected flat pack and constructed in only a few minutes by the very polite (2-man) M&S delivery partners. Extremely well made and presented and easily extended when needed. Wood grain looks good and hopefully will be hard wearing over the coming years.

Lovely table , seats 8 easily when extended . Thought it would be tricky to open and close but I’d actually really straightforward . Very pleased with this purchase

Nice big table, easily seating 8 when extended and will seat 10 cozily. Well finished and very solid feeling. Great delivery experience as well.

Wasn’t given any instructions on how to place extra leaf but worked it out, little bit heavy leaf but lovely table.

So delighted with our new table. Will easily seat 9 for Christmas and looks lovely in our dining room. Looking forward to taking delivery of the matching console table!

I ordered this table then a few days later this was discounted by 10% On delivery we had to assemble this ourselves. However the four corners have gaps see photos attached I would be grateful for your comments regarding this I have other Sonoma furniture which I am more than happy with

This extending table is excellent. Really like the simple modern styling and great, solid wood grain. It looks great extended too, and I’m glad the extension is stored underneath rather than as a separate piece you have to find a place for somewhere. It really finishes off our kitchen/diner brilliantly.

I've owned this for almost two years now. Great for everyday use for family of 4 (unextended) but purchased specifically for the times we want to have large gatherings. When extended, it's ideal for seating ten with placemats, cutlery, wine glasses and water glasses per person; (Pre pandemic!) I've managed to seat up to 12 for a cosy three-course meal although that meant two at each end of the table sitting side-by-side so it depends how roomy your guests want to be and how wide your dining chairs are. The only criticism I have is the design of grooves on the table top - crumbs inevitably fall into these and a solid top would have been preferable.

We have had this table a few months now and as other reviews have mentioned it is not solid wood so have kept it covered. The corners and legs have quite sharp edges and we have bumped our legs on them many times and it hurts! Does anyone know if it is possible to sand them down without ruining the table?

Have had this table for over ten years now and looking to sell it on now we are redecorating. It has been first rate, even squeezing round a party of 12, when extended. Still looks good so would recommend.

I bought this table approximately 6 years ago thinking this would last a lifetime. Sadly the varnish finish is wearing off and the table is starting to look shabby. The table has also started to sag in the middle - it doesn't seem to push together as it should. We have not used the extending piece in the middle that much so it is not like we have always been extending the table and then putting it back together. Sadly it seems I am not the only one to have issues with the table finish. For the price you pay this table should last a long time and under the sale of goods act I don't think this meets the 'of satisfactory quality' criteria. Come on M&S do the right thing and replace those that are faulty.

We have had ours for about 5 years and because I believed it was solid wood I thought it would be OK. However on reading other comments I have kept mine totally covered with a table protector, table clothes and mats. We also have the three door cabinet with the extra glass top, three books cases, in the sitting room we have two nest of tables, one side table, the TV 'cabinet' and a small book case. The furniture fits well but if we downsize it will have to be sold because it is very large. The furniture is excellent quality but as in everything you must take proper care of it and if you do, it will last. Don't forget before you order measure your space and mark it with masking tape to get an idea of the size.

Really happy with my table. I already have the bedroom range so it wasn't difficult to choose this range for the dining room. It'a as I expected - sturdy and very comfortably seating 8. I'm sure we could manage 10. The delivery men were so good, neat, tidy and were away within 10 minutes. Greta service. Took advantage of the 30% discount which made it very affordable. Would definitely recommend this table. It's only been a week but we love it.

Very pleased with the quality of this table and comfortably seats 10 with the extension out. The table was a very good price and even better in the sale.
