The Greddinton is a brown, farmhouse-style dining table from Signature Design by Ashley. It comes in four main shapes, a standard rectangular table on turned legs, an extendable trestle version, a counter-height table, and a round pedestal table. Depending on the shape you pick, it seats four to ten people. This guide walks through the sizes, materials, price, and how to choose the right one for your room.
What is the Greddinton dining table?
The Greddinton is a wood-tone dining table built to look like a classic farmhouse piece. It has a thick plank-style top and chunky turned legs, the kind you would picture in a country kitchen. The finish is a medium brown that reads warm rather than dark, so it suits both traditional and modern-farmhouse rooms.
It belongs to Ashley’s Greddinton collection, sold under the model series PCD824. The collection is more than one table. Ashley offers it as a standard rectangular table, a longer trestle table that extends, a taller counter-height table, and a round version on a pedestal base. There are matching chairs and benches too, so you can build a full set.
Quick take: if you want a everyday table for a family of four to six, the standard rectangular or counter-height version is the easy pick. If you host larger dinners, the extendable trestle table is the one to look at.
How many people does it seat, and what are the dimensions?
Seating runs from four to ten people, and the right number depends entirely on which version you buy. The table below lays out the real measurements for each one so you can match it to your space.
| Version | Size (W x D x H) | Seats | Finish / base | Extends? |
| Rectangular (legs) | 86″ x 42″ x 30″ | Up to 8 | Medium brown, turned legs | No |
| Rectangular trestle | up to ~98″ x 40″ x 30″ | Up to 10 | Two-tone brown top, black base | Yes, drop-in leaf |
| Counter height | 66″ x 42″ x 36″ | Up to 6 | Medium brown, turned legs | No |
| Round pedestal | round top, 30″ H | 4 to 6 | Medium brown, pedestal | No |
A few notes on reading those numbers. The standard rectangular table is 86 inches long and seats up to eight when you add chairs on the ends. The trestle table starts shorter and opens up with a drop-in leaf, stretching close to 98 inches for up to ten diners. The counter-height table sits at 36 inches tall, so it pairs with barstools instead of standard chairs, and it seats about six. The round pedestal version is the most compact and works well for four, with room to squeeze in a couple more.
Depth matters as much as length. Most Greddinton tables run 40 to 42 inches deep, which is wide enough for place settings on both sides plus serving dishes down the middle. A table narrower than that can feel cramped once the plates and bowls go down. The 42-inch depth is one reason the Greddinton feels like a full family table rather than a tight apartment piece.
Before you buy, measure your room and leave at least three feet of clearance on every side so chairs can pull out and people can walk around. A table that fits the floor but blocks a doorway is a common and avoidable mistake. A quick way to test it: mark the table’s footprint on the floor with painter’s tape, set a chair at each spot, and walk the room. If you can pass behind a seated person without turning sideways, the size works.
What is the Greddinton made of?
The Greddinton is built from hardwood solids, mango wood veneer, and an MDF substrate. In plain terms, the frame and legs use solid wood for strength, the visible surfaces are finished with a real wood veneer for the grain you see, and MDF (a dense engineered board) forms the core panels underneath.
This mix is normal for furniture in this price range. The solid wood handles daily use, and the veneer gives you a consistent, good-looking grain without the cost of a fully solid-wood top. It is worth knowing the difference before you buy. A fully solid-wood table can be sanded and refinished many times over decades, while a veneer top cannot be sanded down because the wood layer on top is thin. In exchange, a veneer top resists warping better than a wide solid plank and costs much less. For a family table that will see daily meals rather than a hundred years of heirloom use, that trade is a sensible one.
The trestle version adds a two-tone look, a medium brown top over a black-painted base, and uses a ball-bearing glide system so the leaf slides in and out smoothly. That glide system is the part worth caring about on an extendable table, because a cheap mechanism binds and sags over time. A ball-bearing glide keeps the two halves level and makes adding or removing the leaf a one-person job. The weight backs this up too: the trestle table runs around 180 pounds assembled, so it stays planted and does not shift when someone leans on it.
Ashley lists the table under its Signature Design by Ashley line. You can confirm the current spec sheet for any version on the official Ashley Furniture Greddinton page, which carries the exact model numbers and finish photos.
How much does the Greddinton cost?
Prices vary by retailer and by which version you choose, but the Greddinton generally lands in the mid-price range for a dining table. As a rough guide:
- Counter-height table: often around $450 to $540 on sale.
- Standard rectangular table: often around $600 to $650 on sale, from a higher list price.
- Extendable trestle table: often around $650 to $770.
Those are table-only figures. Chairs, benches, and barstools are usually sold separately, so a full dining set costs more. Many retailers also run sales and rebates on the Greddinton, so it pays to compare a couple of sellers before you buy. The same model number can carry a very different sticker from one store to the next, so checking two or three listings for the exact version often saves real money.
Shipping weight is high, between roughly 80 and 230 pounds boxed depending on the version, which is worth knowing if you are paying for freight delivery or carrying it upstairs. Ask whether delivery is to your door or into the room you want, since the two are priced differently and a heavy box in a hallway helps no one. For the value, the Greddinton sits in a sweet spot: it is built better than flat-pack particleboard tables near the same price, thanks to the solid-wood frame, without reaching into the cost of a full hardwood heirloom piece.
Which Greddinton version should you buy?
Start with how many people you seat on a normal day, then think about your biggest gatherings. Here is a simple way to decide:
- Seating four to six every day, small space: choose the round pedestal table. The pedestal base means no corner legs getting in the way of chairs.
- A family of four to six who like a casual, kitchen-island feel: choose the counter-height table and pair it with barstools.
- Six to eight people regularly, with room to spare: choose the standard 86-inch rectangular table. It is the workhorse of the collection.
- You host big dinners or holidays: choose the extendable trestle table. It seats up to ten with the leaf in and shrinks back down the rest of the year.
Assembly is worth a quick check too. The standard rectangular table usually ships ready to use or close to it, while the trestle version needs assembly because of the extension mechanism. If you would rather not build furniture, that difference matters.
Chairs, benches, and building a full set
The table is sold on its own, so you choose the seating to go with it. The Greddinton collection includes matching side chairs and a dining bench in the same wood tone, which is the simplest route to a set that looks intentional. A bench on one side is a smart move for families, because children slide in easily and you can tuck it fully under the table to save space when the room is tight.
You do not have to stay inside the collection, though. The warm medium brown finish pairs well with upholstered chairs in cream, grey, or tan if you want a softer look, and with black metal or spindle chairs if you want more of a farmhouse-meets-industrial feel. Mixing chair styles, two captain’s chairs on the ends and a bench along one side, is a popular way to make the setup feel collected rather than bought as a kit. For the counter-height table, remember you need barstools at roughly 24-inch seat height, not standard chairs.
What style of room does it suit?
The Greddinton reads as farmhouse, but it is flexible. The chunky turned legs and plank-style top give it a traditional, lived-in feel, while the clean medium brown finish keeps it from looking heavy or dated. It sits comfortably in a classic country kitchen, a modern-farmhouse open plan, or a transitional dining room that mixes old and new.
If your space leans modern, the two-tone trestle version with its black base is the one to pick, since the contrast feels more current than an all-wood table. If your room is warm and traditional, the all-brown rectangular or round table blends in without any fuss. Against white or pale walls the brown top stands out as a warm anchor, and on a darker floor it ties the room together. A simple runner and a bowl or a pair of candlesticks is usually all the styling it needs.
How to keep it looking good
Wood-tone veneer tables are easy to live with if you treat the surface kindly. Wipe spills quickly with a soft, slightly damp cloth, then dry it, because standing water is the main thing that damages a finish over time.
Use placemats and trivets under hot dishes, and avoid dragging plates or heavy objects across the top.
For daily cleaning, skip harsh or abrasive sprays and stick to a dry or lightly damp cloth, and keep the table out of long stretches of direct sunlight, which can fade a finish unevenly. The general care guidance on Ashley’s furniture care page applies well to the Greddinton’s wood-tone finish.
Conclusion
The Greddinton is a solid farmhouse-style dining table that fits most homes and budgets. Match the version to your seating, round or counter-height for four to six, the 86-inch rectangular for six to eight, and the extendable trestle for up to ten. Confirm the measurements against your room, compare prices across a couple of sellers, and buy the chairs to suit. Done right, you get a warm, sturdy table that handles everyday meals and big gatherings alike.
