We usually prefer dining tables that can accommodate the entire family and still have a few spare seats. However, standard-size dining tables often seat only 4 to 6 people at a time. That’s ideal for a family, but if you have guests, you may not be able to dine with them due to the space restriction. This is where an extendable dining table comes to your rescue.

What is an extendable dining table?

As the name implies, an extendable dining table can be expanded in size to accommodate more people at one time. In most cases, there are tabletop extensions in form of leaves to make the table larger. Many brands are also coming up with motorized and telescoping mechanisms that are easier to operate.

These space-saving tables work on demand, they are like any other table but you can expand whenever you need extra dining space. They are perfect for homeowners looking to make the most of the existing space. If you live in an apartment or condo where space may be limited but you want additional dining space, an extendable dining table may turn the trick for you.

Types of extendable dining tables

Extendable dining tables are available in a variety of materials including wood, glass, and marble. There is an option to choose tables from different styles and designs. It’s mainly the extending mechanism that makes them different. Most of the tables depend upon leaves for the extension. So, here are some of the most common types of extendable tables on their basis.  

With drop-down leaves: The drop-leaf extendable table has one or two hinged leaves on either end. You can drop them down to save space or bring them up to create a larger top.

With slide-out leaves: These extendable tables have leaves that can be stored underneath the tabletop. When you need to extend the table, the leaf extensions can be pulled out from under the tabletop and then lifted into place.

With butterfly leaves: The butterfly leaf tables come with a self-storing leaf in the center, that can be lifted outwards when extra table space is required.

With removable leaves: This is the most common type of extendable table where leaves must be completely removed and stored in a closet or hidden underneath the table when not in use. You simply need to slide the ends apart, creating a gap in the center, and then slide the extension leaves into place.      

Pros and Cons of extendable dining table

ProsCons
Flexibility: Extendable tables are of great use if you lack space in your home. They are just like regular tables but you can extend them when you want to accommodate more people. Once the dinner is over, you have the option to save space by folding the table.   Space for extension leaves: The downside of an extendable table is that you need extra space to accommodate extension leaves but this is not with all types of tables. The self-storing leaf tables have a dedicated place to stow them up.
Aesthetics: People like extendable dining tables not only because they are functional but also for their charming looks. You have various customization choices to get a table that matches your décor.Pricey: If you want to enjoy the neat functionality of extendable tables, you have to spend a lot of money. These tables don’t come at a cheap price and you may have to pay a big price for the luxury.  
Care: No matter what type of extendable table you are using, you have to pay extra attention to its care.
