Mid-Century Dining Table with Hairpin Legs
The Lathkill is a mid-century dining table on slim steel hairpin legs: a 45mm solid Scandinavian redwood top, made to order in our Derbyshire workshop, standing on four hairpins that take up almost no visual space. It is the lightest-looking table in the range, which makes it the one for a small dining room or a kitchen that has to work hard — the top does the job of a big table while the legs keep the room feeling open. Four sizes, from a 120cm table for four to 210cm for ten, with one or two matching benches.
Choose the hairpins in black, white, clear-coated raw steel or brass, and the top in Clear, Walnut finish, Smoked Oak finish or Belgian Grey. Black hairpins under a Walnut top is the classic mid-century look; brass under Clear is lighter and more Scandinavian.
Sizes and seating
| Seats | Table (L x W x H) | Bench (L x D x H) |
|---|---|---|
| 4 | 120 x 85 x 75cm | 110 x 35 x 45cm |
| 4–6 | 150 x 85 x 75cm | 140 x 35 x 45cm |
| 6–8 | 180 x 85 x 75cm | 170 x 35 x 45cm |
| 8–10 | 210 x 85 x 75cm | 200 x 35 x 45cm |
All sizes are 85cm wide and 75cm high. The 120cm is our small dining table for four — the size for a kitchen table with a bench along the wall. Need something in between, or longer? Price it instantly on the bespoke dining table page.
The hairpin legs
Each hairpin is bent from steel rod and bolts to the underside of the top on its own plate. Black and white are powder coated; Clear coat is a lacquer over the raw steel; Brass costs a little more. Benches come on matching hairpins in the same finish.
Benches
Add one or two matching benches. Each bench is 10cm shorter than the table, 35cm deep and 45cm high, and finished in the same colour, so a 180cm table takes a 170cm bench that seats three comfortably. Benches tuck in under the overhang alongside the table when they are not in use.
Also made in solid oak and American black walnut — configure yours.
The top is 45mm solid Scandinavian redwood — the pine most British joinery is made from — glued up from full-length boards, planed flat and sanded by hand. Every table is made to order in our Derbyshire workshop.
Legs: steel hairpin legs — black or white powder coat, clear-coated raw steel, or brass — bolted to the underside of the top on their own plates.
Finish: hard wax oil rather than lacquer, so it feels like wood, wipes clean, and a scratch can be sanded out and re-oiled at home rather than sent away. Four colours — Clear shows the pale, natural pine; Walnut finish takes it to a deep brown dark wood; Smoked Oak finish is a medium oak colour; Belgian Grey is a soft grey with the grain showing through. Benches are finished to match.
Care: wipe with a damp cloth, use mats under hot pans, and re-oil the top once a year or so to keep it fresh. Solid wood moves a little with the seasons — that's normal and nothing to worry about.
Not sure on colour? Order the four finish samples — 10 x 10cm offcuts of the actual redwood in Clear, Walnut, Smoked Oak and Belgian Grey, £5 the set and refunded against your table.
Prefer oak or walnut? Pine is softer than oak, so it marks more easily (and sands out). We make the same table with a solid oak or American black walnut top — configure it on the bespoke page.
Allow about 60cm of table edge per person. Table height is 75cm; benches are 45cm high and 35cm deep, and sit 10cm shorter than the table so they tuck underneath when not in use.
| Seats | Table (L x W x H) | Bench (L x D x H) | Top weight* |
|---|---|---|---|
| 4 | 120 x 85 x 75cm | 110 x 35 x 45cm | ≈23kg |
| 4–6 | 150 x 85 x 75cm | 140 x 35 x 45cm | ≈29kg |
| 6–8 | 180 x 85 x 75cm | 170 x 35 x 45cm | ≈34kg |
| 8–10 | 210 x 85 x 75cm | 200 x 35 x 45cm | ≈40kg |
*Top only, before the legs go on — a two-person lift.
Dashed chairs are the optional end seats. Benches shown along one side.
Do the benches slide under? They tuck in. The hairpins sit near the corners of the top, so a standard bench (10cm shorter than the table) tucks in under the overhang alongside the table rather than sliding right underneath. Need something between sizes, or longer? Configure your own — any length up to 300cm, priced instantly.
If none of the standard sizes is quite right, we make every table to order anyway — so we can just as easily make yours to the length, width and height you need, up to 300cm long. Same 45mm solid redwood top, same legs, same four finishes, same 15 year warranty.

Every table is covered by our 15 Year Warranty against manufacturing faults, from the date of purchase. We make everything ourselves in Derbyshire — nothing is imported or outsourced — which is why we can stand behind it for so long.
- Built to be repaired, not replaced. The hard wax oil finish can be sanded back and re-oiled at home, and we'll always help you look after your table for as long as you own it.
- If something's wrong, call 01629 343350 or email us with a couple of photos and your order number. We'll repair or replace the affected part.
- Covers domestic use by the original purchaser. Normal wear such as scratches, dents and marks, and the natural seasonal movement of solid wood, aren't faults and aren't covered. Full terms.
Made to order in our Derbyshire workshop, usually 3–4 weeks from order. Delivery is free to the UK mainland (excluding the Highlands and offshore islands) by 2-man delivery, with a 3-hour time slot and live on-the-day tracking, and the table is carried to the room you choose.
Will it fit? Your table arrives with the legs detached and the top fully wrapped — made up, a solid top this size is awkward through a doorway and more likely to get knocked in transit. On its edge the top goes through a standard 76cm door and up a normal staircase; the top weighs roughly 29–46kg depending on size (see Sizes & Seating), so it's a two-person lift. Fitting the legs takes about ten minutes: the bolts supplied screw straight into threaded inserts in the underside of the top. All you need is an Allen key (not included) — no drilling, no glue.
Returns: if you wish to return your table, contact us within 15 days of delivery. We'll arrange collection from the delivery address; because of the size and weight there is a collection charge for unwanted items that aren't faulty or damaged. Your refund is processed once the table is back with us and inspected. Full details on our Delivery and returns page.
Questions we get asked
120cm seats four; 150cm four comfortably and six with a bench; 180cm six to eight; 210cm eight to ten. Allow about 60cm of table edge per person.
It is the best of our bases for it. Four slim legs at the corners and nothing in between means the table reads light, chairs and benches slide in easily, and the room looks bigger than it would with a chunky frame. The 120cm with one bench is a space-saving kitchen table for four.
Yes — 45mm solid Scandinavian redwood all the way through. No veneer, no board, no filler.
Yes. Scandinavian redwood is a softwood, so a dropped pan or a heavy knock will leave a mark where oak might not — the trade-off is a 45mm solid top at well under the price of oak. Because the finish is hard wax oil, a mark can be sanded out and re-oiled at home. If you would rather have the same table with a solid oak or American black walnut top, configure it on our bespoke page — same sizes, your choice of legs, priced instantly.
A little. The table arrives in pieces — the top, the legs and a bag of bolts — which keeps it safe in transit and gets it through any doorway and up any stairs. Our 2-man team carries everything to the room you choose; you then bolt the legs on. About ten minutes with an Allen key (not included) — no drilling.
Wipe with a damp cloth. Every year or two, rub in a little hard wax oil. Scratches and ring marks can be sanded locally and re-oiled — the finish repairs invisibly, which lacquer cannot.
