I don't think it's solid wood... It's hardwearing wood as stated on the description "The Tiverton dining set has a country style 2 tone finish, with a blend of natural and white woods. It's made of hardwearing wood so it can easily withstand everyday family use."... Unless it has the same meaning??

I know what you mean. I think I've assumed it's solid wood. It says made of rubberwood but doesn't say veneer anywhere so I'm guessing there's no chipboard centre to it therefore solid wood. It ain't no oak that's for sure :smile:

If it helps, the Q&As on the sideboard seem to say it is solid wood...

I got the dining chairs from Homebase for £10 a pair, they are really nice and solid. Tempted to get the table!

I was tempted but wanted to check if it was solid wood. It says the table is made from 'Rubberwood', which is technically a solid wood but no way as hard as maple. The only problem with rubberwood is it doesn't look like real wood.
Good price so have some heat :smiley:

Shame there are no reviews. I've had a poor history with ordering tables from Argos - got 3 last year and all were badly damaged. It puts me off thinking about the haste to return.

Thanks, excellent find. Getting it delivered on 17th Jan. So enough time to shift my old table.
Not looking forward to making it up, think it will be a task for my son to help out on.

Well, missus saw this posted on Facebook from some random cheapy mothers hyper linking...and we were looking at one similar the other day (here. But with kids, paying half the price with more chairs and extendable...cannae go wrong!
However, I think I got the last one in my area. Clicked through to get it from the Crewe area, OOS. Changed to Manchester, 50 days. Went back to Crewe, a month...I have no idea how their stocking system works!

I think you need to buy 2 items of furniture for the code to work, i.e. the sideboard too...

Opening post
If you also go to the matching sideboard, it has also been reduced from £269.99 to £53.99 http://www.argos.co.uk/product/5993370
Add both to your basket (plus delivery only for £6.95) and enter code FURN20 reduces the two items, including delivery to a tidy £182.13
