Custom Furniture, Drop Leaf Table

The client needed a table small enough to fit into her tiny den. She also needed it to serve as a place she could have a meal when she so desired. The drop-leaf design fulfils the space issue while at the same time addressing the need for it to expand when used as a dining table. The design of the table took into consideration the client’s desire for very simple clean lines and ever-so-slightly tapered legs. The maple wood was chosen to compliment the deep rose colored walls.
