The Penrose Expandable Dining Table from Alder & Ore is built around a trestle base, with thick vertical posts and a central stretcher that give the structure a solid, honest quality that feels rooted rather than decorative. The heavy plank top sits naturally above it, the solid pine and white oak veneer construction adding grain and texture across the surface. Made in Vietnam, this table has the kind of straightforward, well-built character that comes from letting good materials and sound proportions do the work.
