Hercules Series 8' x 40" Rustic Solid Pine Folding Dining Table, Rectangular Antique Farmhouse Dining and Event Extension Table

I have rented these tables through an event company, and we have large gatherings. This year I bought one and I’m looking forward to using it for Thanksgiving. Sturdy well-made and will make a great addition for our holiday celebrations. Folds up and easy to store. It does take two people to lift it.

I love this table, it's super wide and long which fills our large room perfectly. Its REAL solid wood! It pairs well with mid-century modern Eames style chairs. It has a rustic finish and its beautiful! I also love that it folds easily if we need to move.

We purchased SEVEN of these for a nonprofit retreat center in Durham, NC that will be needing good, functional, folding tables. Bought a few months ago and set up, but haven’t been used yet as the center was finishing up all the renovations and preparing to open for folks to begin using the spaces. The tables, although nice to look at, are highly flawed. People began hearing loud popping sounds throughout the building. Everyone thinking it was the hardwood flooring not having cured properly. UNTIL… the person who will be running the facility realized that, one by one, the tables had begun cracking and coming apart. Highly unfortunate. As the designer and purchaser, I took on an investigation and found this has happened to numerous buyers. Even learned their exchanged replacements are doing the exact same thing. Something is really wrong with this… In the pursuit of returning them all for a refund, I was sent by the Seller (after lengthy conversation) to Amazon Customer Service. Neither accepting responsibility for the return. Saying the 30-day window has closed. I asked: If this has happened MANY TIMES involving MANY PEOPLE with your MANY TABLES, do you think we all are damaging them in the same way-intentionally after the 30-day window has closed? I’m sorry for the unfortunate nature of this all around for everyone. What business wants to lose money? I get that. But there are certain instances when you need to dig a little deeper into the situations… stop hiding behind self-protective flawed boundaries (for monies sake)… and do the thing you know in your heart is right.

Product description says the base dimensions are 28 x 65.25 inches. I bought two, thinking the legs would be set in almost 7 inches from the table edge as per the specs - but this is not so. Actual base size is 37 x 74 inches, so the end overhang is 10 inches and is only 1.5 inches on the sides. This means the legs are only 2.25 inches inset from the table edge. Unlike many other similarly-priced tables, the top of this one is actually made of tongue-and-groove wood planks, with solid bottom and grooves routed into the top between boards, rather than veneered MDF as in others. I can testify to this because of having drilled a 1 1/2 inch hole in each table for electric wires. Each would have been nicer as a desk if the grooves were not routed into the surface, since my intended use is as a desk. The finish on the tables outgassed for a couple weeks after unpacking (I bought them in January). I suggest if you are going to buy this table do so during months when you can leave it outdoors to outgas for a couple of days before moving it inside if you do not enjoy volatile organic chemical odors. Overall, a serviceable table. Very sturdy, look good. With such a strong base, the 3/4 inch thick top is substantial enough.

I purchased this for the dining room of our 165 year old farm house about 6 months ago. It fits the look perfectly but is also a quality table. I was so pleased with the finish of the table. The stain color is beautiful. It looks new and antique at the same time. I have not had any issues with this table at all. I also love that it looks like an old farm table but it folds up. So you can put it away if need be. I hope to put it out in the yard at some point for a dinner party. Highly recommend this table if you are looking for an affordable farm table that is made of solid wood.

I love this 8ft table. It is the perfect addition to my home and spacious seating for 8 people. No more crammed holiday seating. It did come by freight service so tool a bit longer a d they only deliver curbside. The 8ft table box comes on huge double size pallet( looks.like two.side). The box was 246lbs, It's was not hard to bring in the house and the table was ready no assemble, just place a pin. So glad I purchased this, I truly Love my table.

Very surprised at how heavy and nice this table is. I love it!

I only need a table this size twice a year, so I don't necessarily like giving up all the floor space to have one in the house permanently. I'd tried all the folding/portable table options and they were all flimsy garbage that always had me tense that a wrong move by a dinner guest would send everything to the floor. Not so with this beast. It's built like a tank, looks like a permanent table once unfolded, and beautifully made. The only con? Heavy. Really heavy. What I did was buy a plywood/sheet rock dolly to strap to one end and then just drag it out of the house like a wagon so it could be stored.
