Rectangle End Extension
The leaves add to the ends of a rectangle table to make it larger.
Quick Points
- Our end extension leaves are simple to install. We include a drawer slide that you pull out and then you place the leaves on top of the slide, pushing the slide back in to tighten up the leaf to the table.
- One detail to note is that the grain in the end extensions runs across the width of the table, while the grain of the table itself runs the length of the table.
What sorts of spaces Rectangles are good for?
Most dining tables are rectangle shaped. These tables work well in spaces that are longer than they are wide, which is typically the shape of most dining rooms.
How they can be used?
A rectangle dining table is an efficient way to seat people at the table. Typically you have one person at each end and a variable number of people on each side, depending on the length of the table. They also make good use of the space in the middle of the table, whether you eat your meals plated, family style, or buffet style.

How they compare to ovals?
Round and oval tables both have an inviting organic shape that are friendly for traffic flow. A round dining table will fit into square shaped spaces while an oval dining table will fit into more rectangular spaces.
How they compare to Squares?
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 Center extension tables?
If preferred, Rectangle extension tables can be designed to have the leaves added to the middle instead of the end of the table.

Making Sense of Table Bases
Every table has a base. They all touch the ground somehow. At least, until someone figures out floating tables. (I'm thinking magnets, scientists get on it.) Table bases are all basically one of four different styles: Pedestal, Trestle, 2 legs, or 4 legs. I'll call the 4 legs Parson. Let's explore each one.
