folding leaf table

Most folding leaf tables are sized for small gatherings—commonly seating up to 4 people. Many models extend to seat 6, and a few larger extendable designs are advertised to seat up to 8.

Weight capacity varies by model: some folding or extendable tables list around 150 lbs, others around 220 lbs, and a few list capacities up to 250 lbs.

Most folding leaf tables use drop leaves that hinge and fold down at the sides; other listings use removable or plug-in leaves that lift out to extend the tabletop.
