How many people does the Bozeman seat?

At 96 inches long and 40 inches wide, it seats eight to ten adults comfortably, more if you squeeze in children at the ends. The width leaves room for platters and serving dishes down the center.

What does the drop-leaf design do?

The leaves fold down to shorten the table when you don't need the full length. That makes it easier to fit in a room day to day and open up for gatherings.

It is a wooden harvest-style table with a trestle base. Ask the seller for the exact wood species and finish if that matters to you, since finishes vary by build.

Will the trestle base get in the way of chairs?

The trestle puts the support at the ends rather than at the corners, so chairs slide freely along the sides. The trade-off is less legroom for anyone sitting near the trestle feet.

How does it compare with an extendable table?

A drop-leaf harvest table gives you a fixed long top with folding ends and no separate leaf to store. Extendable tables are easier to shorten to a small size but add a seam and mechanism in the middle.

How do I care for the wood top?

Use coasters and trivets, wipe spills promptly, and reapply the finish as the maker recommends. Solid wood tops can show heat and water rings if left unprotected.
