Do you have a small space but still want to entertain and have a nice place to eat dinner? I originally made this design for a family in NYC who has a very small apartment, but wanted to be able to have family dinners. This table is designed to look good and be ready to give your family those extra seats you need for dinner in your small space. In a closed position the table measures 48 inches long by 15 inches wide in the closed position and 48 by 30 inches wide in the open position. The benches fit underneath the table, with the 2 smallest benches fitting underneath the one larger bench.
This video will walk you through the steps to make this table and show how I did it, as well as offer some steps for changes to the design and options for your own personal touch. The measurements of the finished piece are available below:
