Room×Lab Review · Review updated September 29, 2026

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

Room×Lab read 805 distinct written reviews (Crate & Barrel's 915 counts ratings, not owners) across the Lakin family on this 61"-99" teak page: current and earlier teak listings, the 81"-119" teak, white oak, the 50"-74" round and possibly the 106"-144" teak. Most name no size or wood; 61-inch owners describe seating and heavy leaves. Most are early impressions; some report one to six years of use, one since 2016. Reviews date from late 2019 to 2026; a few cover only a bench, brand praise or delivery. We picked two detailed praise reviews, a 61-inch owner's seating account and three crack or staining complaints; 697 of 915 ratings are five stars.

Room×Lab rating: 5.9 out of 10 (medium confidence). Across every Lakin size and finish, owners give a 4.5-star average and praise the solid, warm reclaimed-wood look; 61-inch owners call the leaves heavy and split on seating six closed. Recurring misaligned extensions, flawed deliveries, cracking leaves and little help with late problems hold the score back.

  • Extension ends and leaf fit: 26 favorable and 47 critical mentions, across all Lakin sizes, of how the pull-out ends and leaves fit. — 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: 14 favorable and 74 critical mentions, across all Lakin sizes, of 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: 4 favorable and 17 critical mentions, across all Lakin sizes, of 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

Choose the 61"-99" Lakin for a heavy reclaimed-teak table if you will check every surface and each leaf's fit at delivery. 61-inch owners split on whether six fit closed, so test your chairs; several owners say replacement leaves weren't sold.
