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.

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.
