Come turkey day every year without fail, hosts across the United States beg for more room for their diners. Prepare yourself ahead of time this holiday season and consider an extendable dining table.
Adaptable to changing dining needs, extendable dining tables expand with a simple pull, allowing for the addition of leaves — that is, more tabletop surface area. Available in many shapes and sizes, extension tables fit virtually any style and size home. After guests have eaten, cleanup is a breeze, because the table's leaves can be removed and stored as quickly and easily as they were installed.

Extendable dining tables work amazingly well in open floor plans where activity areas can easily overlap.

Not nearly big enough for 14 to 16 during the holidays. I had someone take 2 pieces of plywood and make a 4' x 12' cover (piano hinged in the center so it folds up for storage) that I just sit on top of my table and cover with a tablecloth. Problem solved and we all fit around the table comfortably.
P.S: Kudos to 'Kandy' for coming up with a simple yet functional solution on how to extend her table when entertaining a crowd. Am definitely going to store the idea in my memory-bank. :)
It really is an amazing table. I would almost hate to set the table before everyone got a chance to watch it open and close.
Sheila -- last holiday I wrote an Ideabook on console tables that expand to become a dining table. A couple of those fold in a way that keeps the leaves in the table. Ideabook: 5 Instant Dining Tables
