Large Three-Leaf Walnut Dining Table by Paul McCobb for Directional
Paul McCobb for Directional walnut dining table with an ebony wood inlay border to both surface and table leg feet. Impressive in scale and form (can extend from 74.1″ to 137.1″) with the addition of three 21″ leaves. Given its size, this piece is suitable for conference table use, as well.
When two or three leaves are in place, an additional middle base adds support. When not in use, the base easily unscrews and tucks away directly under the table between the rails.
The three leaves, by design, have a uniform grain and color that differs slightly from the table itself. There is a slight tone variation between leaves and table, as pictured.

With 1 leaf: 95.1″ L
With 2 leaves: 116.1″ L
With 3 leaves: 137.1″ L
