Derived from the classic gateleg table design, drop leaf tables have one fixed table top section and typically one or two hinged surfaces. When lifted into place, these hinged sections extend the table top; a drop leaf dining room table will typically have a square or rectangular top shape. If the leaves are supported by brackets, it is simply a drop-leaf table. If the leaves are supported by a set of legs that swing out, it would be called a gate leg table.
What dining table is best for small spaces?
"How do I know if a drop leaf dining table set is the right option for a smaller room?"
Using a drop leaf table as your kitchen or breakfast table, entry console, sofa table, or even desk gives you maximum flexibility. Keep your table’s leaves dropped to save space, and fold them out only when needed. You can also fold out just one leaf while keeping the other leaf dropped flush against a wall. Drop leaf tables also expand easily because the leaves are permanently attached. The ability to use a piece of furniture in a variety of rooms and with a variety of uses makes the solid wood investment well worth it.

Hello! I’d love to get some opinions from folks with an eye for interior design (I assume I’m in the right place for that!) on my recent remodel.
Kindly ignore the mess—I’m mid-deep-purging.
I plan to one day rent this space out. I’m looking for a counter-height table with a drop leaf so I can push it up against this wall to maximize the traffic flow and space, but also allow for being pulled out should the occasion arise. I’m also considering getting one more of these chairs, for a total of five (tell me if that’s overkill or whatever).
Here are a few I was considering.
-
Edgehill Extendable Solid Wood Dining Table (would likely paint this the base and poly/stain the top?) for what it’s worth my mother thinks these make for uncomfortable/frustrating sitting with knees and feet hitting the base.
-
Allyra Extendable Round Solid Wood Base Dining Table (same potential criticism with this one)
-
I’ve looked at and considered the tables with a single center pole/post, but they seem precarious and don’t inspire confidence in stability to me. I’m open to being corrected.
Thanks so much in advance!
