Short answer: Our Ushi dining table measures 62.0 x 38.6 inches and grows to 77.8 inches long with its extension. We describe it as seating 6 to 8 people when extended, in Walnut or Oak.
It is 30.2 inches high. The extension leaf is stored inside the table, and you can order the table only or with chairs, benches or both. Ushi suits a dining area that is compact most days and busier a few times a year. This guide sets out the sizes, materials and seating options so you can check them against your room.

How big is the Ushi dining table?
The Ushi table is a rectangle. The extension adds length only, so the width stays at 38.6 inches. There is 26.0 inches of clear height under the stretcher.
How big is the Ushi dining table?
| Ushi table | Length | Width | Height |
|---|---|---|---|
| Closed | 62.0 in | 38.6 in | 30.2 in |
| Extended | 77.8 in | 38.6 in | 30.2 in |
The extension adds about 15.8 inches. Our Vela table has the same footprint (see our Vela dining guide), so the choice comes down to the chairs and the look. To fit a table to your room, read how big a dining table you need.
How does the extension work?
On the dining set page you choose "No extension" or "Table extension". With the extension option, the leaf is stored inside the table: it folds in and out and stays hidden when you do not use it. Our product page describes it as a seamless extension that slides in for an eight-person setup.
Closed, we suggest 4 to 6 people. Extended, we describe the table as seating 6 to 8. A common guideline is about 24 inches of table edge per person, which is general advice, not a product specification. For walkways around the longer table, see our guide to extendable dining tables for hosting. The Ushi has no drawers or shelves, so the leaf is the only thing stored inside.
What is the Ushi table made of?
The tabletop is 0.6 inch MDF with a thin wood veneer of about 0.01 inch and a lacquer finish. Veneer is a thin sheet of real wood over a stable panel. The frame, legs and stretchers are ash wood with a satin stain. Our product page describes the surface as scratch and heat resistant, but we have no tested figure for the Ushi top, so we do not quote one. Our guide to solid wood versus veneer explains the trade-offs. Finishes are Walnut and Oak.
Which chairs, bench and stools go with the Ushi table?
The dining set page lets you pair the table with 4, 6 or 8 chairs, 2 benches, 1 bench with 2 or 4 chairs, or 2 benches with 2 chairs. The chair style can be Ushi, Vela or Orsa; our Orsa guide covers that table and chair.
Which chairs, bench and stools go with the Ushi table?
| Chair | Width | Overall height | Seat height |
|---|---|---|---|
| Ushi | 20.6 in | 30.4 in | 18.5 in |
| Vela | 20.9 in | 31.2 in | 19.0 in |
| Orsa | 17.9 in | 32.1 in | 18.0 in |
The Ushi chair has solid ash legs, a 0.8 inch foam seat cushion and a 19.1 inch seat depth. It is 23.3 inches deep overall, so leave room to pull it back. A bench is 59 inches long and suits two or three people on one side; our guide to bench versus chairs helps you decide.
For a kitchen island, our Ushi stools come in counter height (26.0 inch seat) and bar height (29.9 inch seat), each with a powder-coated steel footrest. They are not for a standard dining table; see our counter and bar stool height guide.
Which fabrics and colors are there?
The Ushi chair and stool share the same cushion fabrics. Martindale counts measure abrasion resistance, where a higher number means more resistance.
Which fabrics and colors are there?
| Fabric | Colors | Martindale count |
|---|---|---|
| Performance Textured Weave | Parchment, Ash, Cerulean | 54,000 |
| Performance Chenille | Sage, Bordeaux | 48,000 |
| Aquaforte | Sesame, Snowdrift, Basalt | 78,000 |
| Aquaforte Velvet | Aqua, Chocolate | more than 200,000 |
The cover is removable and machine washable; follow the care label. Our guide to washable dining chair covers covers stains.
How is the Ushi table assembled?
Assembly is mostly tool-free: the chair goes together with the Allen key in its hardware box, and the table screws are tightened with the ratchet included. The leg frames attach to the tabletop and the extension leaf to the stretchers. The tabletop ships in flat boxes, each 42.3 x 34.4 x 4.5 inches.
Our recommendation
- Small dining area, occasional hosting: the Ushi table with the extension and 4 chairs.
- More seats along one side: a bench along one side, chairs at the ends.
- Island seating: Ushi counter stools.
- Larger table: look at the Orsa, and compare all three in Ushi vs Orsa vs Vela. For small spaces, see our compact dining sets.
