The story

A warm wooden table for six, for weeknights and long Sundays.

Most of a table's life is ordinary: breakfast in a hurry, homework spread out until supper, a late meal for two, and now and then six around it with the conversation running long. The Boissière is sized for that life, 70.8 inches long with room along both sides and at each end, and open under both long sides so chairs slide right in.

Its top is solid acacia, short staves in a warm brown finish with lighter and darker pieces side by side, and its corners are rounded off. Underneath, four splayed legs, a long rounded opening at each end and a single stretcher down the middle keep the base light to look at and steady in use.

The design

Three details that shape the Boissière table.

The Boissière table is a slab of warm acacia on a light, splayed base. Three details give it its character.

Acacia Staves, Rounded Corners

Acacia Staves, Rounded Corners

The solid acacia top is built from short staves in a warm brown finish, lighter and darker pieces side by side, with small knots left in view. Its corners are softly rounded and its edges eased.

Open Ends, One Centre Line

Open Ends, One Centre Line

At each end a slim rail runs below the apron, leaving a long, round-ended opening. One stretcher joins the two end rails down the middle, so the base reads as an H from above and the long sides stay open.

At 70.8 by 35.4 inches and 29.4 inches high, it seats six, with 26.25 inches of clearance under the apron. Chairs are sold separately; the Boissière dining chairs belong to the same collection.

Will it fit?

Width 70.8″ 180 cm
Depth 35.4″ 90 cm
Height 29.4″ 75 cm

Planning tip. Leave about 36" (91 cm) between the table's edge and the nearest wall or furniture on every side so chairs pull out easily. With the 70.8" x 35.4" (180 x 90 cm) top, plan a clear space of about 143" x 107" (363 x 273 cm), roughly 12 × 9 ft. Chairs with seats about 17-18" (43-46 cm) high suit its 29.4" (75 cm) height and the 26.25" (67 cm) clearance under the apron.

Questions, answered.

Are chairs included?

What is it made of?

The top and legs are solid acacia in a warm brown finish. It is put together with mortise-and-tenon, dowel, groove and corner-block joints, glued and screwed.

There are 26.25" (67 cm) from the floor to the underside of the apron, and the legs stand 60.5" (154 cm) apart at the floor along each long side. The only long stretcher runs down the centre of the table, 23" (58 cm) from the floor to its underside, so the long sides stay open.
