Moia Table Capannori

The Capannori extendable dining table by Moia represents the perfect synthesis of strategic conviviality and space-saving engineering, making it the ideal furnishing solution for enhancing urban balconies, small verandas, or private garden areas. Crafted entirely from solid extruded aluminum and finished with an elegant top made of geometric slats, this model stylishly responds to contemporary space-saving needs. Thanks to an advanced telescopic extension system, the table doubles its usable surface area in just seconds, going from an ultra-compact profile of just 106 cm to a length of 212 cm. A versatile and high-performance project, designed to comfortably accommodate up to 8 guests while ensuring complete weather resistance.

Material Details and Maintenance Guidelines

1. Painted Aluminum Frame and Slatted Top

The extruded aluminum selected by Moia is a noble structural metal completely free of ferrous components. Consequently, it is chemically immune to rust or corrosion, making the table insensitive to rain, nighttime humidity, salt water, and chlorine.
Use and Maintenance: Maintenance is minimal. To clean the slatted top and legs of food residue, liquids, or pollen, simply use a soft cloth or a soft-bristled brush dampened with fresh water and a pH-neutral liquid soap. Rinse thoroughly. Avoid metal sponges, abrasive scouring pads, or ultra-acidic industrial degreasers, which could scratch the matte finish. During the winter months when not in use, we recommend protecting the table with a breathable outdoor cover or storing it in a sheltered area.

Benefits and Design

• Telescopic Double Mechanism (106/212 cm): The true engineering strength of this table lies in its instant modularity. When closed (106x75 cm), it takes up the space of a standard bistro table, perfect for a daily breakfast for two on the balcony. When needed, the tabletop extends, doubling in length to 212 cm to accommodate unexpected group dinners.
• Space-Saving Slim Depth (75 cm): Unlike traditional 90 or 100 cm wide dining tables, the limited depth of 75 cm was designed to allow the table to be placed even on long, narrow balconies or compact verandas, while still providing the necessary space for seating and ensuring smooth passage around the structure.
• Drainage-Friendly Slatted Tabletop: The top features a slatted design separated by millimeter-wide gaps. This geometric architecture, in addition to providing a strong contemporary visual impact, allows for the regular drainage of rainwater, preventing the formation of stagnant pools and speeding up the table's drying after a storm.
• Wear-Resistant Leveling Feet: The base of each leg is equipped with protective high-density plastic feet. These elements isolate the metal from the ground, dampen dragging noise, and protect demanding flooring (such as wood decking or porcelain tiles) from scratches, providing stability even on uneven surfaces.

FAQ

Does the extension mechanism require the storage of a separate extension?
No, the system is designed for maximum convenience at home. The sliding aluminum runners allow the half-tops to open smoothly to reveal or integrate the extension directly into the table's supporting structure, eliminating the inconvenience of having to store additional panels in closets or storage rooms.

Will an anthracite or dove-gray aluminum table burn if exposed to direct August sun?
Aluminum, like all metals, can burn if continuously exposed to sunlight.Summer sun tends to accumulate heat. However, the slatted design allows for continuous airflow, drastically reducing heat buildup compared to a closed, single-piece metal tabletop. During the midday hours of July and August, if the table is completely exposed without umbrellas or curtains, we recommend using a tablecloth or textile runner.

Is the table supplied fully assembled or does it require assembly?
The table is delivered with the main tabletop and extension mechanism fully assembled and factory-calibrated to ensure maximum smoothness. Simply attach the four structural legs to the corners of the frame using the reinforced hardware and following the instructions included in the package—an extremely simple, logical, and quick operation that takes just a few minutes.
