from £995.00

The Convertable – A Classic Space-Saving Table

A beautifully handcrafted, space-saving table designed for modern living. The Convertable transforms seamlessly from a compact coffee table into a full six-seater dining table, giving you four different positions in one beautifully designed piece of furniture.

Handmade to order in our Nottinghamshire workshop from solid ash or oak, each Convertable is built for everyday use and made to last.

Four tables in one

The Convertable moves effortlessly through four positions to suit everything from relaxed coffee and conversation to family meals and entertaining.

1. Small coffee table
74 × 74 × 48cm high

2. Large coffee table
74 × 148 × 46cm high

3. Two-seater dining table
74 × 74 × 75cm high

4. Six-seater dining table
74 × 148 × 73cm high

Its clever, simple mechanism makes changing between positions quick and easy, without compromising on strength or stability.

Traditional craftsmanship, built to last

The Convertable is made using traditional furniture-making techniques, with every detail carefully considered.

The finger joints on the connecting frame showcase the quality of the construction, while the carefully matched grain patterns across the table tops demonstrate the care and attention that goes into every piece.

Even the details you might not immediately notice have been designed with purpose. The distinctive triangular feet help keep the table firm and secure across a variety of floor surfaces, while the robust mechanism is designed for years of regular use.

This is a timeless piece of furniture, designed to work beautifully in both traditional and contemporary homes.

A design with history

The Convertable was originally designed by Lee Sinclair in 1989 and has been made by our family business ever since. The design remains as popular today as it was when it was first launched.

Over the years, hundreds of Convertables have found homes across the UK and around the world, becoming a much-loved piece of furniture for generations of customers.

The Convertable has also featured in numerous press articles and even appeared as a game on the BBC's The Generation Game in 1991.

More than 35 years after its original design, the Convertable remains a great example of what we believe good furniture should be: good design, good making and longevity.

“Ingenious”
Jane Peyton - The Independent

“I am delighted with my pair of Convertables, they give me exceptional flexibility - I can seat ten people comfortably for dinner, or pack everything down to a coffee table. In addition, they look absolutely gorgeous - the butterfly split top is a particularly nice touch. With most furniture, you are faced with a trade-off between form and function, but this excellent design gives you both! Daniel and Rosalind's customer service has also been second to none”
Clive Galway 2018

“Thanks so much for your beautiful work on the Convertable, it is really smashing, I am very pleased with it.”

Mr Ward, Southwold

“The best thing I have ever bought”
Mrs Kilgour, Edinburgh

“I bought a convertable at the Country Living fair in 1992, and it is still a much loved, if slightly distressed piece of furniture, and the centrepiece of my sitting room.”
Fay Presto, London

“Ordered a convertible coffee to dining table for my small flat. The item has just arrived and I couldn’t be happier with it. There is no product out there like it, and it’s extremely easy to convert. Thank you so much!”
S. Ashfield,

“I was looking for a convertible table and ... WOW ... I was impressed.”
Cal B, Toronto

“The table is perfect. We live in a one bedroom flat and don't have space for a 'table' - so this is exactly what we needed!”
