Wallace II Dining Table | Acme Furniture
Our Wallace II Dining Table brings sophisticated style and exceptional versatility to your dining room. Crafted from solid hardwood with a rich espresso finish, this expandable table comfortably seats 6 in its standard configuration and extends to accommodate up to 10 dinner guests when entertaining.
We designed the Wallace II with a self-storing butterfly leaf mechanism that deploys smoothly without tools or removing the table pad. The tapered legs and clean-lined silhouette complement both traditional and transitional interiors, while the generous 42-inch width provides ample elbow room for place settings and serving dishes.
Every Wallace II table undergoes our 12-step finishing process to ensure lasting beauty and durability. The catalyzed finish resists water rings, scratches, and everyday wear, making this investment piece perfectly suited for daily family meals and special occasions alike.
Wallace II specifications
Materials & Construction
We build the Wallace II from kiln-dried solid hardwood harvested from sustainably managed forests. Each board is inspected and hand-selected for consistent grain patterns before entering our manufacturing process.
The table features traditional mortise-and-tenon joinery at every leg connection, creating rock-solid stability that won’t loosen over time. We reinforce the apron with corner blocks and steel brackets to support the extended configuration when you’re seating 10 guests. The self-storing butterfly leaf sits flush within the table base, eliminating the need for separate storage space in your home.
Sizing & Seating Capacity
The Wallace II measures 72 inches long in its closed position, making it ideal for dining rooms ranging from 12×12 feet to larger open-concept spaces. At this length, the table comfortably seats six adults with standard 24-inch place settings and room for centerpieces.
When you deploy the butterfly leaf, the table extends to 90 inches, providing seating for 8 to 10 people depending on your chair style and desired spacing. We recommend allocating 24 to 30 inches of linear space per guest for comfortable dining. The 42-inch width ensures ample space for place settings, serving platters, and decorative elements down the center.
Extension Mechanism
The Wallace II features our signature self-storing butterfly leaf system, a engineering solution that keeps the extension leaf hidden inside the table base when not in use. To extend the table, simply pull the ends apart until they lock into position, then unfold the center leaf and lower it into place.
The leaf measures 18 inches wide and stores in a dedicated compartment beneath the table surface. Spring-loaded supports automatically rise to hold the leaf level with the main surface, creating a seamless dining plane without visible gaps or height differences. The entire extension process takes less than 60 seconds and requires no tools or separate components.
