Tables that extend to the table

If you're short on space, two methods to fit in some seats is to put them in the table's supports or an extension design. A dining table that has pedestal bases eliminates the legs on the sides to create a central foundation, which leaves more space around the edges to seat guests. Be aware that this kind of table may be less robust than one with legs, which is why it's best to choose a table that is smaller.

There's also a wide range of extensions that let you add more space at your table.

• End-leaf extensions: Sometimes instead of expanding tables in its middle area, leaves are slotted into the ends. The endcap piece is usually trimmed to the edges to conceal dowels or hinges if the leaves aren't attached.

• Drop-leaf extension for these tables the leaves are affixed to the edges, and then hang down when not being used. They are lifted and then anchored to the table, creating extra space, and sometimes making a square table an oval one. Since the leaves are evident, they are often integrated into the design.
