Table Extension Hardware

11/19/2012


From original questioner:

I'm having a difficult time finding dining table extension hardware that enables leaf storage under the closed table top.

Can anyone provide leads or insight?

Thanks,

Mark

If you mean a "Dutch Pullout" table (do a Google image search), it doesn't require special hardware. Here's a link to a FWW article on how they work.

You might also want to check "butterfly table" hardware. Lee Valley sells some.

Many extension hardware kits make space for leaf storage (one or two at the most) between the extension rails. At most you need to put cross members to hold the leaves. I assume you mean what you see in the video.

I personally have not seen any storage areas underneath extension tables. It would be great if there is actually a furniture that enables that though. It would really help to keep the dinner table mess in. Every time guests come over, the dinner table setting can be set up in just a jiffy.
