Where Northern Expand tables work well
Use the Expand collection wherever a shared table needs to support more than one activity. The smaller round options can help create an approachable setting for informal meetings, team lunches or compact break areas. Their central format makes conversation straightforward and avoids assigning people to a particular end of the table.
Rectangular Expand tables are suited to larger dining areas, meeting rooms and multipurpose workspaces. The six-person model offers a practical footprint for everyday team use, while the eight-person version gives larger groups more room to sit together. Because the tables are not linkable or height adjustable, they are best considered as standalone fixed-height pieces.
How to choose between the models
Start with seating and shape
Choose the round D120 or D140 when conversation and an even, social arrangement are priorities. Select a rectangular model when the room benefits from a more directional layout or when you need seating for six or eight people. The D120 is the collection’s extendable option, which can provide additional flexibility when the table needs to accommodate changing group sizes.
Check dimensions and room clearance
Compare the listed widths and depths with the available floor area, allowing enough space for chairs and movement around the table. The collection has a fixed height of 73 cm, so check that it works comfortably with the chairs already in use. Product-specific dimension documents can help confirm the footprint before you plan the room.
Materials, finishes and practical details
Across the collection, the table top is oak and the base is wood. Depending on the model, the finish is described as light oiled oak or beige. These are useful distinctions when coordinating the table with existing furniture, flooring or wall finishes. The four-leg construction provides a clear, familiar base design, while the straight-leg format gives the rectangular tables a simple architectural profile.
If your layout needs power management, check the D140’s cable-tray compatibility. A cable tray is not included, so any accessory requirement should be confirmed as part of the specification review. Also check whether the model’s listed seating capacity matches the way your organisation intends to use it.
What to check next
Before selecting a model, confirm the preferred shape, number of users, available floor space, finish and any cable-management needs. Review the dimensions PDF for planning and the user manual where installation or use information is required. For the D120, an EPD document is available. Myntwork offers the Northern Expand dining tables on a monthly lease, allowing you to plan the furniture as part of a flexible workspace setup.
