Types of Extendable Dining Tables
Butterfly Extension Tables
The most popular extending dining table design features a hidden leaf stored beneath the tabletop. Simply pull the table ends apart, and the butterfly leaf unfolds automatically. Perfect for those who want a seamless, all-in-one solution.
Self-Storing Extension Tables
These expandable dining tables keep extension leaves neatly stored within the table frame. No need for separate storage—everything you need is built in. Ideal for apartment living where storage space is limited.
Drop Leaf Tables
