Argos has reduced its best-selling Preston 6-8 Seater Dining Table by £60 ahead of Christmas. The table, which usually retails at £205, is currently available for £143.50 when shoppers use the code RED30 at checkout.
The oak-effect table can be adjusted to seat either six or eight people by pulling it apart at the middle and slotting in the leaf. Its taupe oak-effect finish is designed to suit a range of interior styles and would likely match any colour of dining chair.
Customer reviews and design details
A best-seller on the Argos website, the Preston dining table has received an 86% recommendation rate. It requires self-assembly, with two people recommended for the task, though clear instructions are included.
One shopper said: "Brilliant for the price. This table was delivered three days ago. I'm amazed how lovely it is for the price. Just the colour I wanted and an excellent size for family dining."
Another pleased buyer said: "Bought this as I needed a larger dining table. It actually will seat up to 10 people. It was relatively easy to put together and is very sturdy. Very pleased with this purchase."
A third customer added: "The table is better than it looks on picture, the colour of table is what I always wanted so so happy with this. It's ideal for a big family as it extends to an eight seater, you won't be disappointed in this table at the price and great quality."
However, one shopper marked the table down due to a design detail. They said as part of a longer review: "It's a lovely great table, I liked it until I put the extension piece in the middle just to realise that the wooden pattern on the rest of the table is perpendicular to the extension."
