Let’s hear it for drop leaf tables! They are a great way to save space, but also have additional table space when you need it. Here are seven of our favorites to use when entertaining – or anytime.
Round Drop Leaf Dining Table
A Signature Design by Ashley Froshburg, this round drop leaf dining table is stylish and will add space for when you are entertaining. Round tables are great for smaller spaces, but especially when the sides drop down as well.

Box Frame Drop Leaf Expandable Table
Designed especially with small spaces in mind, this Box Frame Drop Leaf Table doubles in width when extending its two side leaves so you can seat two, or make room for six when needed. It has a durable steel frame and solid mango wood top. We love the industrial look of this table, which would be great for a condo or apartment since it can seat 2-6 so easily.

Anderson Solid Wood Expandable Dining Table – Caramel
Designed to suit any style, this Anderson Dining Table‘s exaggerated, angular legs add a modern edge to its clean-lined form. Notice how the rich grain of the acacia wood comes through the finish. Plus, the expandable design seats up to 10, so making room for extra guests is no problem.

Steve Silver Abaco Counter Height Dining Table with Storage
The Steve Silver Abaco Counter Height Dining Table with Storage is a very functional piece of furniture. This table is tall and features a tabletop with drop leaves, to transform it from a square table for two, to a round table for four. Also, there’s storage space tucked into the pedestal and a lovely display space atop the cupboard. Store dining essentials, showcase fresh flowers, or tuck daily condiments away when they’re not in use. The contrasting wood finishes add to the uniqueness of this table.

Reed Extending Dining Table
Crafted using thick cuts of wood and designed with simple lines, the Reed Collection blends a modern aesthetic with the rustic warmth of natural materials. The dining table is built for smaller spaces and features a planked-look top, through-tenon construction, and chunky legs. We love this Scandinavian design with beautiful wood and simple lines.

Bolanburg Counter Height Dining Room Drop Leaf Table
Whether your style happens to be farmhouse fresh or country cottage, you’ll find the Bolanburg drop leaf counter height table works well for the dining room. A two-tone textural finish gives this dining table with plank-effect top a double helping of charm. All four sides fold, so you can go from a round table that seats six to a compact square design in no time. The built-in display shelf serves up form and function. It’s awesome.
