It’s time to buy an extension dining table. But what size and shape would suit your home? Extendable tables were designed to make the most of homes that needed to free up more usable living space. In Sydney, with each square metre of space at a premium, many apartments and houses require some thoughtful planning to get the most out of each room.

Extendable Dining Tables for Small Spaces

For the urban dweller, a small extension dining table offers a compact size, ideal for day to day meals and allowing greater flow between shared living and dining areas. Having the ability to extend a table to multiple sizes is an attractive option for small but growing families, working professionals, empty nesters and seniors.

The Bellagio Small Extension Dining Table made from solid mango wood can enhance any modern or rustic inspired interior. Styled with either upholstered fabric or cafe style chairs, this small extendable table can seat from 4-8 guests.

The table at its closed size (150cm wide x 90cm deep) has two extension leaves stored inside the table and can seat 4 to 6 guests. With one leaf inserted, the table will increase to 190cm wide x 90cm deep. This size gives that extra bit of space to enjoy for 6 guests around the table. With two leaves inserted, the Bellagio Small Dining Table grows to 230cm wide x 90cm deep. At this size, up to 8 guests can be comfortably seated around the table.

Extendable Dining Tables for Large Spaces

If you have recently upgraded to a new home or completed a home renovation, it might be time to consider upgrading to a larger dining table. As the family grows, and you find yourself entertaining friends and extended family more, a large extendable table could be a very practical solution.
