I was all keen to get the Norden but it wasn't available in Australia at the time we needed a table. I ended up with the Norden extendable version instead which ended up being a decent choice if you've got the space for a 4 person table but want to seat more people occasionally. I think the gateleg aspect would have been irritating as an everyday table (there are 3 of us in our household). So probably comes down to the space available and every day living. If your not sitting at the table every day (even when we're not eating at it ours gets lots of use as a work/homework/crafting space) and don't have space for a dedicated dining table then go with the most compact option, otherwise go with the most practical - which from your options I'd say would be the danderyd Answer from Dependent-Chair899 on reddit.com

Extendable Dining Tables - Drop Leaf Tables - IKEA
A drop leaf table features one or more hinged table sections, often at each end of the dining table. One or both can be extended or opened to provide additional table space. When guests have gone home and you don't need as much dining space, the extendable sections at the end - also known as leaves - can be folded down or "dropped."

What types of folding tables can you get at IKEA?
Basic Craft tables · Crafts require space, and sometimes a lot of it. Crafters often make do with dining room tables, coffee tables or even their beds – but none of those surfaces are truly satisfying. Dining room tables need to be cleared for dinner time, coffee tables are often low inviting a sore back, and beds – well, good for sleeping and maybe spreading out quilting or other fiber arts, but definitely not for paint and paper arts. A good folding table, in a size that can fit your area, can be set up, used until the craft is finished, then put away if that area is needed for guests, yoga,

Why buy furniture at IKEA?
The IKEA motto is “You could do it yourself – but you don’t have to.” Founded by Ingvar Kamprad, the name “IKEA” consists of his initials followed by the village where he grew up. The IKEA concept is that nice furniture should be available to everyone, not just a privileged few. With that idea in mind, IKEA furniture has clean lines and provides both comfort and practicality. Their folding tables follow this basic principle.

r/IKEA on Reddit: Foldable tables: which one is the best?
October 8, 2024 -

I'm furnishing a small living room and want to buy a foldable table.

I've narrowed it down to three models:

  • Danderyd

  • Norden

  • Pinntorp

Does anyone have any experience with these tables? How sturdy are they? Are there better alternatives?
