6 of the best extendable tables

I can assure you that investing in an extendable table is a decision you won't regret. Owning an extendable dining table ensures ample space for everyday meals and provides extra room for occasions when you have more guests to accommodate.

Written by:

What's more, when you don’t need the additional table room, you can easily fold them back or slide them away for another day. Now are you starting to see why I said extendable tables are such a great furniture investment?


Is an extendable table worth it?


Most definitely.


First of all, they’ve got a smaller footprint than larger-sized tables, but still give you the option of having more table space when you need it. 


Additionally, given the innovation and sophisticated craftsmanship that goes into creating most furniture pieces these days, transforming your table from a four-seater to a six to eight, or larger, is really straightforward.


In most circumstances, you just have to slide out the extra panel and rearrange your chairs around your table.


The beauty of extendable tables is that they can cater for all occasions and grow with you as your family grows.


There are also plenty of options for you to choose from too, ranging from extendable round tables and extendable glass dining tables to oak extending dining tables and marble extendable dining tables.
