The Best Extendable Oak Tables for 6 People: Black Friday 2026 Selection

Published in November 2026

A table that seats 6 people is the most common size for a family dining room: it provides enough space for everyday use and, if it’s extendable, also for meals with guests. But not all 6-person tables fit in every home. The shape, width, and type of extension can greatly affect the feeling of space.

We've put together a selection of six wooden tables for 6 people—all extendable, made of solid oak, and from NordicStory—organized by the type of dining room where they work best. But first, a quick look at the dimensions.

Dimensions of a dining table for 6 people

Allow about 60 cm of width per person and leave between 80 and 90 cm of space around the table so you can pull out the chairs. Based on that guideline, here are the approximate measurements:

If you're unsure about which shape to choose— round or rectangular dining table—we explain it here, and in the dining table size guide, you'll find the calculation for other numbers of diners.

Quick Comparison of the 6 Tables

Dimensions for the version shown; several tables have additional sizes listed in their product details. The number of guests is approximate and depends on the chairs.

Our selection: 6 extendable tables for 6 people

1. Round Carmen: the most popular choice

This is the table shown in the main image, and it’s been our best-seller in recent weeks. Its round tabletop encourages conversation, and with the additional insert, it becomes an oval table. If you’re looking for a round table that seats 6 people, the 120-cm size works best. You can see other similar models in our selection of extendable round tables.

• Dimensions: 100–134, 110–141, or 120–154 cm in diameter (100, 110, or 120 cm wide), 75 cm tall.
• Approximate seating capacity (120 cm): 4 to 6 when closed, up to 8 when open.
• Extension: additional board.
• Finishes: natural oak, bleached oak, or honey oak.

2. Escandi 5: for small dining rooms

If your dining room is small or the table is in the kitchen, the Escandi 5 extendable round table is the most compact option: it measures 110 cm when in everyday use and extends to 145 cm when there are six of you. The extension piece is stored inside the table itself.

• Dimensions: 110–145 x 110 x 75 cm.
• Approximate seating capacity: 4 when closed, 6 when open.
• Extension: central butterfly mechanism stored inside.
• Shades: various shades of oak.

3. MOBY: to expand up to 8

The MOBY extendable round table is perfect for those who enjoy family meals during the week and entertain guests on the weekends. At its largest size, it comfortably seats 6, and when extended, it seats up to 8 without the need for a side table.

• Dimensions: 100–130, 120–160, or 130–170 cm, with a width of 100, 120, or 130 cm and a height of 75 cm.
• Approximate seating capacity (130 cm): 6 when closed, up to 8 when open.
• Extension: central butterfly mechanism stored inside.
• Finishes: natural oak, bleached oak, or honey oak.

4. Holger: the sturdiest

The Holger extendable round table features a 4-cm-thick tabletop and a 50-cm extension, which is stored in two panels inside the table. It is the most striking piece in the collection, designed for a spacious dining room.

• Dimensions: 120–170 x 120 x 76 cm or 140–190 x 140 x 76 cm.
• Approximate seating capacity (120 cm): 4 to 6 when closed, up to 8 when open.
• Extension: two central panels stored inside.
• Finishes: honey oak or bleached oak.

5. Oval Carmen: for elongated dining rooms

If your dining room is longer than it is wide, the oval Carmen extendable table makes better use of the space. It retains the gentle curves of the round version, and since it has no corners, it’s easy to move around.

• Dimensions: 170–210 x 100 x 75 cm.
• Approximate seating capacity: 6 when closed, up to 8 when open.
• Extension: central butterfly mechanism stored inside.
• Finishes: natural oak, bleached oak, or honey oak.

6. Harold: The Classic Rectangular

The Harold extendable table is a rectangular table with simple lines that’s easy to pair with chairs or a bench. It’s the most practical option if the table is placed against a wall or if you want to make the most of the ends of the table.

• Dimensions: 140–180 x 90 x 75 cm or 170–210 x 90 x 75 cm.
• Approximate seating capacity (140 cm): 4 to 6 when closed, up to 8 when open.
• Extension: center leaf tucked inside.

Which extendable table is best for 6 people?

There isn't one single extendable table that's better than the rest: the best one is the one that fits your dining room and the number of people in your household. These three questions will help you decide.

1. What does your dining room look like? If it's square, choose a round table (Carmen, Escandi 5, MOBY, or Holger). If it's long and narrow, choose an oval or rectangular table (the oval Carmen or the Harold).
2. How many of you are there each day? If there are 4 and sometimes 6, Escandi 5 or Carmen (110 cm). If there are 6 and sometimes 8, MOBY, Holger, the oval Carmen, or Harold.
3. Who's going to set the table? Tables with the extension stored inside are the most convenient—you don't have to find a place to store the extra piece. Here's a look at the different types of mechanisms used in extendable tables.
