The presence of a sliding mechanism at the dining table is a great advantage. With this table, you can save space, but if necessary, push it apart and not be crowded with a large family at a small kitchen table.
The main function of the sliding mechanism is to increase the length, width, and sometimes the height of the table. The worktop can change not only the size, but also the shape, from the circle turning into an oval, from the square into a rectangle. This dining table is a classic. However, there are other options. We'll talk a little more about all possible sliding tables.
Types of sliding tables
The most common option - the top of the two halves and additional elements. Spare panels in this case are stored either inside the table or on a separate rack. The mechanism in such tables is quite convenient and reliable. Transformation occurs either synchronously, when both sides of the main counterpart diverge, or only one side of the table is laid out. Thus round dining dining table becomes oval, and square - rectangular.
