Although many of the chairs in the archive were really comfortable, we wanted to achieve even better comfort. Through trial and error, Mikael and the team searched for the most perfect angle of the backrest and created a seat that is really comfortable to sit on for a long time. “We chose paper twine for the seat since it's strong and gives a pleasant suspension when you sit on it.”

Reviews
Skansnas tableBarbaraNice looking table with extension built in that will flip up when needed. This eliminates finding a place to store extension.
High quality,beautifulCatherineTable is beautiful,classic modern lines. Assembly was straightforward according to instructions. Finish has held up nicely to a toddler at the table. Highly recommend
Solid, needs to be laqueredErichSolid table, not inexpensive when you consider you need chairs. Table was surprisingly easy to put together, which isn’t something I have said about IKEA products before.
Table needed to be lacquered as it took scratches quickly. The extension of the table was easy to do.
Holes on the storage bracket are not aligned HaoThe assembly of this piece is already difficult due to its mechanical design and weight. Yet, you may get another curve ball that the pre-drilled holes on the storage bracket are not aligned with slider hardware (step 17). Not a single hole is correct. This took me an extra hour to figure out and properly drill holes by myself. Total assembly time is 3 hours. If you also get a defective product, the remedy is to skip step 17, and do step 18 to install the hinges for the extending boards first. Then come back to 17 to drill new holes on the bracket. This is not the quality control I expect for a $700 table.
Ikea quality, don't expect moreWassimThe surface is very soft and unsuitable for a dining table.
The installation guide was wrong and missing pieces. The table is too heavy and bulky so we ended up with a work around and sadly kept it.
Very cozy but enough spaceAgnesLooks good and very easy to extend. Finally I found my life dining table
Really Awesome TableLeonardPurchased this table for a new renovation we did and absolutely love it. Perfect match to our flooring, versatile sizing and real quality. Was surprisingly easy to assemble.
Love itFrancene NN/a
Love this TableMarcLove the design and build of this table. The self storage of the leaf is great!
From order to delivery and assembly were great!
GREAT TABLEAlexGOOD QUALITY, FAIRLY EASY TO ASSEMBLE. MY ONLY PROBLEM IS THE MATCHING CHAIRS ARE NOT AVAILABLE.
Great dining table BennyWe love this dining table, its study, extendable and great quality, easy assembly !
Kitchen Nook TableTinaWe shopped for a while trying to find the right size and shape table and chairs for our space. This set works very well.
Some holes and screws don’t matchClaraThe middle part that extends the table is not well installed because some screws and holes don’t match. The holes were drilled in places where the supplied screws won’t reach never. Therefore that middle part can’t be storage under the table. We could remove and put the middle part in a closet and close the table for the small presentation but we can not use the table as it was offered.
4 months in and still greatSarahGreat table! Very easy to adjust the size, the wood has not changed in color, and does not stain. Everything wipes off clean. Would definitely recommend!
Compact dining tableAnnWe love our new dining table. It fits perfectly in our space, and is easy to extend when the family is here.
Nice TableSydneyWe purchased this to replace our very old table that was falling apart. So far, we are very pleased with the sturdiness and looks. Putting it together took a little longer than the couches we purchased, but it was fairly easy. Can't wait to use the extended version at the holidays!

Accessories for SKANSNÄS
Story
A timeless dining experience
After having designed and produced furniture for more than 70 years, we have some goodies in our archive that can serve as inspiration for new furniture. Sure, everything wasn’t better in the past, especially not comfort and flexibility, so it’s important to base the work on our needs today, just like we have done with the SKANSNÄS series.
The 1950s and 60s were a real golden age in Scandinavian design history. The lines became cleaner and the materials gave character. In our archive, Designer Mikael Axelsson found a real treasure chest of inspiration. “Typical of that time are generous chairs with wide backrests without visible fittings or screws,” tells Mikael. “But they were sold ready-assembled, and the flat pack hadn’t had its breakthrough yet.” Today, our smart wooden plug, the wedge dowel, means you can easily assemble the SKANSNÄS chair. And the plug is invisible from the outside!”
A chair to lean back in
For small and large dinner parties
The SKANSNÄS series is made of beech, a hard and durable wood with beautiful graining – just like many of the furniture in the design archive. But, today most of us put higher demands on flexibility. The tables have a so-called butterfly extension. When the house is full of guests, you can easily unfold it and extend the table in a matter of seconds. “SKANSNÄS tables and chairs are made so you can lean back and enjoy small and large dinner parties for many years.” And who knows, maybe they will also become treasures in the archive that inspire future designers.
Designer thoughts
Designer thoughts
"In the work with SKANSNÄS, I did a deep dive into our IKEA archive and drew inspiration from tables and chairs from the 1950s and 60s, which was a golden age for Scandinavian design. I like the simple and soft shapes and the natural materials they used. Materials that are beautiful from the start and develop a nice patina over time. I brought all of that with me, but I also wanted to add new knowledge about ergonomics and techniques to make furniture that suits our time."
