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.

Expanding Round Table Operation


Expand your table to accommodate guests in minutes.

Operating the table is a simple process. Since the table top is on a locking carousel, you can open and close the table from one place instead of having to walk around the table. First pull each pie out and unfold each leaf. Then push each leaf into the center and then each pie to lock it all into place. There is a lock underneath to keep the table from spinning.

PRICING


Included in the pricing of every custom Lotus Table:

Wood Selection

We source the highest quality lumber available for each table we build 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

In Our Workshop all of our pieces are hand-made, start to finish, by a single craftsman. We approach each table as a unique piece of art that must be functional and maintain its beauty for years to come. This requires one individual to accept full control and responsibility for the detailed precision and process execution to achieve.

Final Assembly and Inspection

Each piece is inspected, signed and delicately 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.

Process


SHIPPING & WHITE GLOVE DELIVERY


White Glove Delivery

The preferred method of delivery is to let us bring it to you. A Lotus Table expert will schedule a time to come to your location, deliver and install the table, and teach you how to assemble, operate, and care for your investment/masterpiece/showpiece. Delivery and installation are not included in the price of the Expanding Round Table and only available in the contiguous US.

International Delivery

Expandable Round Tables can be shipped internationally. To ensure that they arrive to you safely, they will need to ship disassembled. We do supply video installation instructions. Although the installation is simple, professional delivery and assembly is recommended.

John Mark McClellan has been delivering and installing Expanding Round Tables and other Western Heritage Furniture for over 20 years.

DEPOSITS & PAYMENTS

There is currently an ever growing waiting list for the Expandable Round Table.

We require a 70% deposit to secure your place in the production line. There will be a 15% progress payment due mid production and the balance will be due upon completion.

We accept Wire Transfer, Check and Credit Cards (Visa, MasterCard, American Express) with a 2.8% processing fee.

All transactions are secure, processed and verified by Authorize.net and/or PayPal with the latest 256 bit encryption technology.
