Story
Lengthening the CH337
The page presents the CH338 as the extended version of the CH337, designed for six people instead of four. Like its shorter sibling it has an elliptical top that can be lengthened with leaves when more seats are needed.
A unifying top
According to the manufacturer, the softly curved solid wood top gives the table a unifying feel, and with up to 14 seats it suits meetings as well as larger family gatherings.
