For Greeks there are better prices..." True. But this particular table is very unique. I've never seen anything else like it. So it's very expensive, but if there are no options I guess they can charge what they want. ;-) John P. For the non-Greeks… “Very good, but expensive table. For Greeks there are better prices…”

True. But this particular table is very unique. I’ve never seen anything else like it. So it’s very expensive, but if there are no options I guess they can charge what they want. ;-)

Three months ago I found a video on the desktop, and I thought, I'll try to do it. There have been attempts to shock, but finally managed to improve on the seven, and it works! it is only 30 cm in diameter. Now I will make 1 m diameter, of course, if you have time after work I do and then Video. Hi everyone! Three months ago I found a video on the desktop, and I thought, I’ll try to do it.

It's 48" expandable to 60" - it has 6 hidden leaves which work in a butterfly mechanism. Not even talking about $25000, $3800 is more than I feel like I want to spend, but I _must_ have this table. I looked underneath for a manufacturer label, and all I could see was "Made In China". I'm souring Alibaba,if I find one, I'll link it here. At the same time, if anyone finds the manufacturer, let me know! I'll gladly do a group buy to meet minimum order requirements - with the markup in furniture, the cost is probably close to $1000.

But our table doesn't work as nice as this one and you have to store the fillers somewhere. I would love to pick this one apart and study..

In my first career I used my BSME and even worked in the contract office furniture industry but that was in the last millennium. Now I work on the web where things are easier to do but less impressive. It’s nice to see that Mechanical Engineering still exists.

The price was a bit lower, but still way out of my range... This one looks just great, but for 25K I guess I would buy other stuff... cheers Rhoody I saw those kind of tables (not that beautyful, more modern-plastic kind of thing) in a Art furniture-store in germany around 10 years ago.

I'm sure that's quite an engineering feat once one really looked at how they did it. In any case, it's much more convenient than a table leaf! (But probably not worth that much money to me.)
