You need a kitchen table that works as hard as you do and this Carson end extension table does just that. The core table is a classic table with corner post legs and a skirt that gives the table its solid design. This table is perfect for all your kitchen activities like sharing meals, doing homework, or crafting. For those special occasions like birthdays or other holidays, add the leaves to make room for a few more.

This table is an end extension table which means that you add a leaf to each end.  Without the leaves, the table looks and functions as a standard table which would be used as an everyday table.  When the table extends you will see the rails and notice that they are not stained. This helps to keep the slides moving smoothly. With an end extension table, the grain on the core table runs lengthwise and on the leaves it runs widthwise for a breadboard effect. There may be a bit of a lip where the leaves meet the table top.

The key characteristics of this design are the corner post legs with the skirt. This structure provides a lot of strength and stability. With the legs tucked into the corners you can seat people as you like along the sides, giving lots of room for chair legs and people’s legs. While this design does make it difficult to use the corners for seating, overall it gives you a lot of flexibility on how to use the table. On the Carson End Extension table we strongly recommend 24” leaves to give the person sitting at the leaf enough space without crowding them into the post leg.

We build every table to order so you can have the table that’s perfect for you. We can customize the size, the wood, the finish, the edge and the base so the table fits your style and your needs. Whatever you choose, you can be confident that you will receive a beautiful hardwood table, custom built for you.

At Loewen Design Studios we build stunning high quality hardwood tables. Where we really shine though is in helping people figure out the best dining table for them. We’d love to help you figure out what your perfect table looks like. Reach out to start working with our design team on creating the tables that’s best for you.

Important Notes:

All of our tables are made from solid hardwood. As a natural product, each piece of wood has its own uniqueness.

• Natural wood has variation in the grain. 
• Solid wood will expand and contract in different climates
• Most of our walnut has sap wood, which introduces some variance in color into the wood

For us, these properties make these tables more interesting. If you have any questions, please reach out. 

Our standard shipping process involves us sending your table with a freight carrier for curbside delivery. To send your table with a carrier, we will securely pack it up in several layers of packaging, finishing it off with cardboard. We will pack your tabletop, legs, and extensions (if applicable) in different boxes, arrange for pick up and send you the tracking information. Once your table is in your local depot, the local carrier will reach out to arrange for delivery. In this case, delivery means that your table will be delivered to the end of your driveway. From here you can bring the boxes into your home and assemble the table. Assembly is generally pretty simple and we will supply all hardware and assembly instructions. Most tables can be carried in and assembled by 2 people; larger tables may require some additional hands. These shipments are typically delivered within 7-14 days of when we ship.

We also offer white glove delivery as an option for deliveries to most metro areas of the US. (if you are wondering if white glove delivery is an option in your area, please message us). For this service we blanket wrap your table, legs and extensions and send them to our white glove delivery partner in North Carolina. Again, once the table is in your local depot, you will be able to book your delivery which means that 2 people will bring your table to your home, carry it in, assemble it and remove all the the packaging. Timelines for white glove delivery typically range from 14-28 days depending on the delivery location. Message us for more specific information for your location.

Whichever delivery option you choose, you will receive a table built specifically for you. We will build, finish and pack your table which takes 4-6 weeks. After that we arrange for shipping. If you need your table sooner, we may be able to expedite production or the shipping. In this case, reach out to us and we’re happy to chat about what the options could be.
