Where the Table Edge Bends

The Lancelot 7-piece dining set is a long rectangular table with six Haven chairs around it. The top does two things at once. Its two long sides are shaped rather than cut straight, rising and falling along the length so the outline is never a flat line, and its walnut grain is printed in bands of slightly different tone so the surface reads as several boards rather than one. The edge is deep, and both the shape and the banding carry over it and onto the underside. Four flat black steel legs angle outward from beneath the top and narrow toward the floor. The top comes as two panels that meet across the middle and join underneath, with the shaped edge carrying straight through the join.

Features

• Softer Than a Rectangle because the two long sides are shaped rather than straight, so a table this long sits in the room without the hard-box look
• Banded Walnut Grain prints the top in strips of slightly different tone, which gives a long surface something to look at instead of one flat stretch of color
• Six Matching Chairs arrive with the table in one shape, one height and one color, so the room does not end up with a mixed set bought at two different times
• Six Places Around It means two chairs along each long side and one at each end, the standard layout for a table of this length
• Rated to 250 Pounds per chair, the same on all six and unchanged across the upholstery colors, because the frame under the cover is the same one each time
• Armless by Design so two chairs fit side by side along each long side without catching on each other, which is what makes six places work on this length
• Warm Top, Black Legs puts a mid-brown surface above matte black steel, so the table divides clearly into what you eat on and what holds it up
• Damp Cloth Cleaning is all the tabletop asks for, since the grain is printed onto the surface and does not need oiling, waxing or any dedicated product
• Dining Room Scale suits a dedicated dining room, a long kitchen wall or one end of an open-plan space, and seats six without an extension leaf

Care Instructions

• Wipe the tabletop with a soft damp cloth, then dry it
• Do not let water stand on the tabletop, because the board under the surface swells if moisture gets in through a chip or a cut
• Pay particular attention to the join across the middle, and dry it after wiping
• Use coasters under glasses and mats under hot dishes
• Do not use bleach, solvents or scouring pads on the tabletop
• Vacuum the chair fabric with a soft brush attachment
• Brush the faux suede in one direction with a soft dry brush
• Wipe along both sides of the corded edge, where crumbs collect
• Spot clean with a barely damp cloth and a mild upholstery cleaner, blotting rather than rubbing, and test a hidden spot first
• Wipe the metal legs with a dry or barely damp cloth, then dry them
• Tighten the chair leg bolts and the table leg hardware every few months
• Swap the six chairs around now and then so they wear at the same rate
• Lift the table and chairs instead of dragging them, and keep the foot pads clear of grit
• Keep the set out of long periods of direct sunlight
