Choose an extendable outdoor dining table manufacturer in China by checking the finished dimensions in every position, the operating method and a complete representative sample. Agree how the extension parts are included, inspected and packed before production. One attractive photograph or a single table length cannot define the order.
SOLAIREVA is a commercial outdoor furniture manufacturer based in Foshan, Guangdong, China, serving global B2B hotels, resorts, restaurants and project buyers through OEM/ODM and factory-direct export workflows. Explore the official outdoor furniture collections and request the current configuration for your project.
Plan the closed and extended positions
A restaurant may use the shorter arrangement for routine service and extend a table for a larger group. Start with the actual terrace plan, seating and service route. Ask for finished length, width and height in each available position; identify any intermediate configuration rather than assuming every model has one.
Check where legs, supports and the table edge sit in each position. Compare the proposed chairs and their occupied space with the available layout, including staff access. Approve the final plan with the project team and applicable local requirements. This guide gives no universal seating count, circulation clearance or accessibility approval.
Anderson's Coronado extension-table page, reviewed on 28 October 2026, separately identifies closed and extended dimensions and describes multiple positions for that model. It illustrates why buyers should request configuration-specific information; its dimensions, material, operating time and seating claims do not apply to SOLAIREVA products.
Specify the complete extension mechanism
Ask the supplier to identify every included leaf or panel, support, guide, attachment and any retaining feature on the offered model. Establish whether the extension part remains within the table or requires separate storage. Different products use different systems; do not infer a butterfly leaf, latch or storage arrangement from the term “extendable.”
Request the operating instructions and a drawing showing each position. Identify who will move the table during service, the handling space required and any preparation specified by the supplier. Confirm how the extension surfaces align and how staff can access and clean relevant contact areas. A demonstration supports evaluation but is not a durability test or a promise of effortless operation.
For the broader selection of a fixed or extension table's top, base, glides and floor contact, see the outdoor dining table factory checklist. This guide concentrates on the extra decisions created by the extension system.
Use a real catalogue photo as a starting reference
The SV-F0196 extendable dining table page provides a model to discuss with SOLAIREVA. The existing catalogue photograph shows a long slatted, wood-look surface, visible panel divisions and angled supports. Ask for the current model's actual materials, positions and operating details before specifying it.
For an aluminum extendable outdoor dining table, specify the frame separately from the top, fasteners and moving parts. Confirm each component's material and finish in the proposed configuration. If the project needs a revised size or surface, ask how that change affects support, motion, sample approval and packaging.
Evaluate an extendable outdoor dining table manufacturer in China
Review the SOLAIREVA factory overview, then request evidence for the actual model and revision. Identify who supplies the moving components and who assembles and checks the complete table. If any work is outsourced, ask how specifications and changes are communicated.
- Configuration: drawings and parts list identify all included positions and components.
- Inspection: the agreed sample and production checks address dimensions, alignment, floor contact, edges, finish and the operating sequence.
- Evidence: any performance report identifies the tested specimen, configuration and scope; a generic material report is not a complete-table result.
- Changes: a different top, mechanism or supplier triggers a documented review of compatibility and approval.
- Handover: instructions, labels and replacement-part references correspond to the supplied revision.
Agree the inspection method and acceptance criteria with the manufacturer and relevant specialists. For report scope and specimen identity, consult the contract furniture evidence guide. Do not transfer another supplier's test results or service-life claims to the proposed China factory product.
Approve a complete sample and operating record
Review the proposed table with every supplied extension component, hardware and finish. Have the intended operators follow the manufacturer's instructions through the offered positions. Record any unresolved alignment, movement, contact or floor-stability issue and agree its disposition before releasing the relevant production revision.
Pair the table with the intended chairs. Check reach and arrangement in both positions, and record how the extension part is handled when not in use. Keep the sample identity, drawing, surface references and written decision together. Use the hotel furniture sample approval checklist for the wider project sign-off.
Match the export pack to the complete table
Confirm assembled or knock-down delivery, protection of edges and moving interfaces, and how loose leaves or hardware are secured. If parts travel in separate cartons, ask how receiving staff can match every carton to one complete table. Review a first-packed sample and request measured dimensions, gross weights and the packing list rather than assuming an extension table uses the same carton as a fixed model.
Confirm assembly instructions, tools, destination receiving constraints and who checks the completed table. The packaging approval guide explains the separate protection review; the China shipping checklist addresses freight scope. Neither a compact closed tabletop nor a catalogue photo establishes the packed volume.

Use the OEM/ODM project workflow to discuss feasible changes, sample charges, MOQ by configuration, approval milestones, production timing and quotation validity. A request for customization is not confirmation of availability, price or a delivery date.
Questions buyers ask a China extension-table supplier
How do I choose an extendable outdoor dining table manufacturer in China?
Define the closed and extended layouts, intended users and model-specific mechanism. Request drawings for each position, operating instructions, a complete sample, component identity, factory inspection scope and measured export packs. Compare written inclusions and approvals before ordering; a single catalogue dimension is not enough.
What dimensions should I request for an extendable patio table?
Request finished length, width and height in every offered position, plus usable space between supports and the packed dimensions. Review chairs, access and staff circulation in both layouts. Identify the drawing revision and whether any extension leaves are included. Confirm actual measurements with the supplier.
Are the extension leaves included in a wholesale quotation?
Ask the China supplier to list the table, leaves, connectors, operating components, hardware and glides as one defined sales unit. Mark optional components separately. Confirm whether leaves are stored within the table or separately for that model, and how each part is identified in the export pack.
How should a hotel evaluate the extension mechanism?
Ask for model-specific instructions and have the intended operators review a complete sample through the offered positions. Check the movement path, alignment, support, contact points and any supplied retaining features using the supplier's procedure. Record unresolved issues and agree appropriate model-linked performance evidence; do not infer a cycle rating from a demonstration.
Can a China factory customize an extendable outdoor table?
Ask which size, top and finish options apply to the selected design. A change can affect the mechanism, support, packing and the scope of previous evidence. Request a revised drawing, feasibility review, sample plan, MOQ and written quote before accepting the change. Availability and timing depend on the proposal.
How are extendable outdoor tables packed for export?
Confirm whether the table ships assembled or knock-down, where the leaves and moving parts are secured, and which parts travel in each carton. Review a first-packed sample, measured carton dimensions and gross weights, assembly instructions and identification labels. Agree destination handling requirements with the supplier and freight provider.
Scope and sources: Manufacturer-authored procurement guidance reviewed on 28 October 2026. The separately linked Anderson example concerns its own model, not SOLAIREVA performance or specifications. No fixed dimensions, cycle rating, certification, price, MOQ, warranty period or delivery time is promised.
