We have a very large "gathering room" (18x20), with raised hearth fireplace that is open to the kitchen. We will have a built-in reading nook next to the fireplace. I would like to have two 36" square tables that open up to 64" when needed instead of one large table. Most of the time we will only need one of them but when we have company, we could extend and join them to accommodate 8-10. I was thinking of an 8x10 rug for each table. Would love to hear other opinions. I did find a few pictures with two tables.
