Room×Lab Review · Review updated September 29, 2026

Lakin owners love the look and heft, but misaligned extensions, flawed deliveries and cracked leaves keep recurring

The retailer aggregate covers 915 pooled ratings and can include records excluded from product-specific claims; it is not a qualified-owner count. 805 distinct retailer comments were studied. They cover the Lakin extendable dining table family, pooled on the 61"-99" teak page from current and earlier teak listings, the 81"-119" teak size, white-oak versions and the 50"-74" round table, which a retailer reply identifies. Another retailer reply names a 106"-144" teak size, so a larger table may also be pooled. Most reviews don't state size or wood, so findings apply to the family unless a size or finish is named. Explicit 61" owners add detail on seating and heavy leaves; explicit 81" and white-oak owners are credited only to their own versions. Most accounts are early impressions, but some owners report one to six years of use (one claims ownership since 2016, unverified), and reviews date from late 2019 to 2026. A few records cover only a bench, general brand praise or delivery and give no table evidence. The retailer's star rating describes this mixed pool, not the teak 61"-99" alone.

Room×Lab rating: 5.9 out of 10 (medium confidence). Owners give the Lakin family a strong pooled 4.5-star average and praise its solid, warm reclaimed-wood look, but the score is held back by recurring reports of misaligned extensions, flawed deliveries and leaves that cracked after a year or more, with limited help once late problems appear.

  • Extension ends and leaf fit: Linked records: 26 favorable and 47 critical mentions about how the pull-out ends and leaves fit together. — Many owners say the ends pull out and the leaves go in easily with no center seam. Critical owners describe ends that won't close flush, eighth- to quarter-inch gaps, pegs that miss their holes, leaves sitting higher or lower than the top, and sticking arms. Some needed several replacements; others found a later unit fit better.
  • Condition on arrival: Linked records: 14 favorable and 74 critical mentions about the table's condition when delivered. — Reported defects include cracks, chips, stains, scratched legs, filler or glue, missing bolts and poorly fitting leaves, and several owners needed three to five deliveries. Many still rated the table highly once a good unit arrived, and some advise checking leaf fit before signing off. Some outlet or pickup units were used or altered.
  • Leaves cracking, splitting or warping: Linked records: 4 favorable and 17 critical mentions about extension leaves cracking, splitting or warping. — Reported timing ranges from the first week to about four years, and some cracks were found when leaves came out of storage for holidays, including after careful flat storage. Owners say replacement leaves weren't sold separately or available. Favorable evidence is thin: a few owners report wear holding up after about two years or leaves still fitting.

Before buying

Pick the Lakin for a heavy reclaimed-teak table if you can check every part and leaf fit at delivery. At 61 inches, owners split on six seats; test your chairs. Several say spare leaves weren't sold; one got just 10% off for a leaf cracked at two years.
