The Expanding Round Table: A Conversation Starter

  • Lotus Woodworks
Sep 12, 2023

In this guide, we’ll discuss the magic of expanding round tables and how they’re the catalyst for socializing and bonding people together.

  • A Statement Piece for Different Spaces

A Work of Art and Engineering

Craftsmanship and Detailing

One of the many unique aspects of our expanding round tables is that one lone craftsman handcrafts each. This ensures you receive a piece built with consistency and a solid vision. To pair with this, we offer the highest quality materials that provide visual beauty and functionality.

The Expansion Mechanism Explained

The expansion mechanism we incorporate into our tables is the staple of their design. Each expandable round table has hinged stored leaves that expand or contract for the occasion. A built-in locking carousel also eliminates the need to walk around your table while expanding or collapsing it for greater convenience.

Customizable Materials and Finishes

Each of our tables is uniquely crafted with all kinds of available designs and variations to choose from. You’ll have multiple hardwood options and a selection of bases, tabletop designs, and color glaze finishes. Some of our primary hardwoods include walnut, cherry, teak, barn wood, and exotic woods as an additional upgrade option.

The coatings provide unparalleled color correction, guaranteeing that your table surpasses all your anticipations. Similarly, the initial cost covers a personalized two-part color toning and glazing process and a multi-layer application of flat or satin conversion varnish as the final top coat.

Creating the Wow Factor

Unfolding the Experience: A Live Demonstration

Complementing Various Design Styles

Regardless of your design, there are numerous ways to incorporate surroundings with your expanding round table. The key to complimentary interior design is to focus on harmony. 

How do the furniture and decor in the space coordinate with each other and create a sense of unity? You can use matching tones or contrasting colors, minimalism, or contemporary themes. Our tables are crafted with natural woods in both warm and cool tones. Below are some ways our interior designers paired our expanding round tables with their surroundings.

Norman – Quarter Sawn Teak / Angled Bookmatched / Grain Filled High Gloss Finish

The Nagin Table – Flat Sawn White Oak / Straight Bookmatched / Grey Wash Satin Finish

More Than Just a Table: A Social Catalyst

Facilitating Conversation and Engagement

No matter your design, your expanding round table will be the focal point of any given room. Imagine the conversations you’ll have with friends and family as you explain the intricate parts of your table and its one-of-a-kind expanding abilities.

Enhancing Special Occasions and Events

Our expanding round tables are ultimate icebreakers, and they cater to every occasion and make it easy to accommodate large parties and intimate gatherings. 

Whether you’re entertaining four people, or ten, we offer size options to fit both. Another perk of round tables is that they make great game set-ups, allowing people to face one another and be more engaged. Formal sit-downs, casual get-togethers, and fun parties – our expanding round tables make room for all.

The Table as a Family Heirloom

We create our expanding round tables with top-tier materials, so they’ll live on for years to come. When you receive your table, you treat yourself and those you plan to pass it down to. As years go on, your table will grow more meaningful and memorable.

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.

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.
