Allow enough space for the fully extended table, your chosen chairs or benches, and comfortable movement around the dining area. The rectangular table reaches 152" (386.1 cm) long, while the round table extends to 108" (274.3 cm) as an oval. Planning around the maximum dimensions helps ensure your oval farmhouse dining table or rectangular trestle dining table has room to expand when more guests arrive.

The rectangular Gather Dining Table includes four 20" (50.8 cm) extension panels and seats up to 16 people, while the round table includes three 20" (50.8 cm) panels and seats up to 10. Add panels according to the amount of tabletop and seating space your group requires.

• Dining Table for 6 people: Add panels as needed for comfortable spacing with either table shape.
• Dining Table for 8 people: Both Gather table shapes can accommodate eight people when extended.
• Dining Table for 10 people: Fully extend the round table, or extend the rectangular table to suit your seating arrangement.
• Dining Table for 12 people: Choose the rectangular table and add panels to create the required seating space.
• Dining Table for 14-16 people: Fully extend the rectangular table using all four panels.
  
  The round configuration works especially well as a farmhouse dining table set for 8 or 10, while the extendable trestle dining table provides the greater capacity needed for groups of up to 16.

The Gather benches are designed as coordinating expandable seating rather than dedicated under-table storage. The straight Extendable Bench pairs with the rectangular table, while the Curved-End Bench is designed for the round-to-oval table, and both store their own extension panels inside. Built-in panel storage helps keep your farmhouse dining set organized without requiring separate storage space for the bench extensions.

Store the Gather Dining Table panels inside the Gather Sideboard when they are not in use. It holds all four panels from the rectangular table or all three panels from the round table. Dedicated storage keeps the panels for your trestle dining table set organized, nearby, and ready whenever you need to make room for more.

The rectangular Gather Extendable Bench stores all five of its extension panels inside its open central compartment, while the Gather Extendable Curved-End Bench stores its three panels within its own built-in compartment. That integrated storage adds practical functionality to both the rectangular and round-to-oval farmhouse dining table set configurations.

The Gather Sideboard is the collection’s dedicated storage solution for the dining table extension panels, holding either all four rectangular table panels or all three round table panels. It also provides additional dining room storage and serving space. Pairing the Sideboard with your extendable farmhouse dining table keeps every extension panel close to the table and ready for your next gathering.

Belgian Oak features lighter blonde tones with pale honey and warm beige undertones, while French Chestnut brings a deeper medium-to-dark brown appearance with warm chocolate and mocha tones. Both finishes showcase the natural grain and character of the wood. Either finish can be paired with Patina Black or Patina White to create a distinctive trestle dining table set.

Yes. Natural grain patterns, knots, tone, and other organic characteristics can vary from one Gather piece to another, giving each table, bench, and coordinating wood piece its own appearance. That variation gives every farmhouse dining table set an authentic wood character rather than a completely uniform finish.

Yes. Small knots, cathedral grain, and other natural wood variations are expected throughout the Gather Collection and are part of the material’s character rather than imperfections. These details contribute to the traditional farmhouse look of both the rectangular and oval trestle dining table configurations.
