Low table

It all depends on the number of leaves and their width. Many of our extendable console tables can accommodate from 4 to 8 guests, and some models can seat up to 10 or 12 people once all the extensions are deployed. Each model's product page specifies the maximum capacity and corresponding length, which helps you choose according to the size of your family meals.

The principle is based on an extension leaf system that stores inside the furniture when folded. When closed, a console table is often only 30 to 50 cm deep and can be placed against a wall or used as an occasional table. When open, it extends to over 2 meters in length. This integrated storage mechanism is what allows for such significant space saving in everyday use.

There are mainly two types. Console tables with integrated leaves, where the extensions fit into each other under the tabletop, and butterfly or central extension tables that unfold in the middle. Recent models slide on runners that can be operated by one or two people depending on the weight. The details of the mechanism are indicated for each product in this selection.

Yes, the selection covers several materials. Tempered glass provides a light and easy-to-clean finish, well-suited for small spaces where a bulky look is to be avoided. Wood and oak or ceramic effect tops offer a warmer feel and resistance to scratches. The choice mainly depends on your decor and how you intend to use it.

The range is intentionally wide. A console table typically closes to about 40 cm deep to serve as an entryway or living room piece, then extends up to 250 or even 300 cm long once the leaves are added. Remember to check the clearance around the open table for comfortable movement. Each product sheet displays both measurements, folded and unfolded.

Some console tables are designed with a compartment that accommodates folding chairs, which avoids storing them elsewhere in the home. Other sets are offered with matching chairs sold separately. This is a practical solution for studios and small rooms where you occasionally host guests without keeping bulky furniture permanently.

That is precisely their purpose. When folded, a console table occupies the footprint of a low piece of furniture and frees up space. On the day you host, it becomes a full dining table without having taken up daily surface area. For a studio or a one-bedroom apartment, it is often the best compromise between living spaciously all year round and being able to accommodate guests.
