What Are Some Things to Know about Extendable Tables?
Extendable tables are designed with leaves or extensions that can be added or removed quickly and easily to accommodate more or fewer people.
Tables crafted with middle leaves are designed with built-in gliding mechanisms that allow you to adjust the size smoothly.
For most of our tables with middle leaves, at least the first two leaves are skirted to match the main table. Also, these tables can usually conveniently store two leaves under its tabletop.
Tables with breadboard end extensions, like the Calloway Barnwood Table in the video below, generally have "arms" that slide out from underneath the end of the table to support the 18”W extensions. A peg and hole design and clasp attached to the table’s underside help to secure the extensions in place.
We love that extendable tables are ideal for maximizing both space and functionality, offering flexibility for a variety of dining needs!
