How they compare to rounds?
Round and Square Extension Tables both work well in square shaped spaces in their everyday form. With extensions added, the square table becomes a rectangle and the round becomes an oval. With a square you can choose either end extension or center extensions while with a round, the extension have to be added to the middle.
How they compare to rectangles?
A Square End Extension Table is similar to a rectangle extension table in that they both add leaves to the ends and create a rectangle or at least a larger one when the leaves are in place. A Square End Extension Table, though, is a great solution for a smaller space as the everyday size is smaller, typically perfect for 2-4 people.
They can be End Extension tables?
If preferred, Square Extension tables can be designed to have the leaves added to the ends instead of the middle of the table.
