The Expandable Dining Room Table

  • Lotus Woodworks
Aug 6, 2024

In today’s world, where living spaces are becoming more compact and multifunctional, finding furniture that adapts to your needs is essential. One of the most versatile and space-saving pieces of furniture is the expandable dining room table. At Lotus Woodworks, we specialize in creating high-quality wooden tables that enhance your home’s aesthetic and provide practical solutions for modern living.

The Versatility of Expandable Dining Tables

Expandable dining tables are a brilliant innovation designed to maximize your living space. These tables have various mechanisms that allow you to adjust their size according to your needs. Whether you have a small family dinner or a large gathering, an expandable dining table can comfortably accommodate everyone.

Dining Table with Leaf

One of the most common types of expandable dining tables is the dining table with a leaf. This design includes additional sections, known as leaves, which can be inserted or removed to adjust the table’s length. Leaves are typically stored separately and can be easily added when extra space is needed. This table type is perfect for those who occasionally host large dinners but prefer a smaller table for everyday use.

Round Extending Dining Table

Another popular option is the round extending dining table. This style combines elegance with functionality. When expanded, the round table transforms into an oval shape, providing more seating without compromising style. The smooth curves of a round extending dining table make it an excellent choice for creating an inviting and cozy dining atmosphere.

Table Extension Slides

The magic behind expandable tables lies in their table extension slides. These slides are the mechanisms that allow the table to extend smoothly and securely. At Lotus Woodworks, we use high-quality, durable extension slides that ensure your table remains stable and sturdy, no matter how many times you expand or retract it. The precision engineering of these slides guarantees a seamless transition between sizes, maintaining the table’s aesthetic and functionality.

Benefits of Expandable Dining Tables

Space Saving

One of the most significant benefits of an expandable dining table is the space it saves. The table occupies minimal space in its compact form, allowing for better movement and use of the dining area. You can quickly expand the table when you need to accommodate more guests, making it a versatile addition to any home.

Flexibility

Expandable dining tables offer unmatched flexibility. Whether you have a small family or frequently entertain guests, these tables adapt to your needs. You can enjoy intimate dinners without a large table taking up unnecessary space. When you host larger gatherings, you can quickly provide ample seating.

Enhanced Aesthetic

At Lotus Woodworks, our expandable dining tables are crafted from high-quality wood, ensuring they are beautiful and durable. Our wooden tables’ seamless design and elegant finishes add a touch of sophistication to any dining room. The ability to extend the table without compromising on style is a testament to the craftsmanship and thought put into each piece.

Choosing the Right Expandable Dining Table

When selecting an expandable dining table, consider the following factors:

  1. Size and Shape: Determine the size you need when the table is compact and fully extended. The shape should complement your dining area and overall home decor.
  2. Material: High-quality wooden tables are durable and add a timeless appeal to your home. At Lotus Woodworks, we offer a variety of finishes to match your style.
  3. Mechanism: Ensure the table has reliable table extension slides. Smooth and durable mechanisms are crucial for the table’s functionality and longevity.
  4. Design: Choose a design that reflects your taste and complements your dining space. Whether you prefer a traditional dining table with leaf or a modern round extending dining table, we have options to suit your preferences.

Conclusion

Expandable dining tables are a fantastic investment for any home. They offer the perfect blend of functionality, style, and space-saving benefits. At Lotus Woodworks, we are dedicated to providing high-quality wooden tables that enhance your living space and adapt to your lifestyle. Explore our range of expandable dining tables and find the perfect piece to transform your dining experience.

Lotus Tables

Expanding Round Table Operation


Expand your table to accommodate guests in minutes.

Operating the table is a simple process. The tabletop turns on our proprietary carousel mechanism, so you can open and close the table from one place instead of walking around it. The first turn moves the primary leaves outward. The stored leaves are then folded out and positioned by hand. A second turn closes the table into a complete, larger circle.

PRICING


Included in the pricing of every custom Lotus Table:

Wood Selection

We source the highest quality lumber available for each table and are meticulous in culling for wood density, moisture content and the specific grain patterns our clients require. Your choice of most American hardwoods are included in the starting price. Exotic woods are up charged at current market price.

Bases

We offer six standard bases. The Ball, Caporaso and Curved Column bases are included in the starting price. The Corbels, Tapered and Barrel base are upgrades. If you have an interest in a different style base or would like to create a truly original custom, we will guide you through the process.

Top Design

Unique top designs and custom inlays are one of our fortes! Each table top design poses different challenges that are priced accordingly. A more simple straight grain table top is included in the starting price.

Our Finish

This is the most important part of the process. We are proud of exceeding expectations by delivering the highest level of color corrected and top coatings available. Physical approval samples are sent for each table and revisions are made until our client is satisfied. A two part custom color toning and/or glaze and a multiple coat flat or satin conversion varnish top coat is included in the starting price. Grain filled high gloss finishes, variable contrasting colors or any finish requirements that exceed time and materials allotted are an up-charge and will add to the production time.

Bench Made

Every table is made to order in our partner woodshops. Each table is built by hand with close attention to its function, finish, and lasting quality.

Final Assembly and Inspection

Each table is carefully inspected and wrapped before it makes its way to your home.

White Glove Delivery

We offer white-glove delivery, assuring you that someone from our family will usher your new work of art all the way to its destination.

Lotus tables start at $50,000
Clover tables start at $35,000

Process


SHIPPING & WHITE GLOVE DELIVERY


White Glove Delivery — United States and Canada

The preferred method of delivery is to let us bring it to you. Throughout the United States and Canada, a Lotus Woodworks driver and installer will schedule a time to come to your location, deliver and install the table, and show you how to operate and care for it. Delivery and installation are quoted separately and are not included in the price of the table.

International Delivery

For destinations outside the United States and Canada, we arrange white glove consolidation — coordinated door-to-door delivery to your address. Tables ship disassembled so they arrive safely, and we supply video installation instructions. Delivery is quoted separately.

DEPOSITS & PAYMENTS

Production lead time is 3–5 months once production resumes.

We require a 60% deposit to reserve your place in the production schedule. A 20% progress payment is due during production, and the final 20% is due on completion, once we have sent you photographs of your finished table. Delivery is quoted separately and is not included in the price of the table.

We accept payment by wire transfer or check.
