Expanding table

expanding tableMeet the Fletcher Capstan Table - the only table in the world with its unique properties. Basically, it is a circular table which, when rotated at its outer perimeter, doubles its seating capacity, yet astonishingly remains truly circular.

The expansion leaves are stored within the table and, in just four seconds, smoothly and quickly emerge upon rotation, rising and radially expanding outwards as the entire top is turned through 30˚. Existing tables can seat six persons when small, and twelve or more when expanded, but there are other design possibilities.

This is definitely a great table to have, especially during festive seasons whereby one may have many friends coming over for dinner!
