Expandable Mechanisms:
Ashley HomeStore's expandable tables typically feature expansion mechanisms with a self-storage function, which folds and stores beneath the table when not in use.

Detachable mechanisms, or extensions, are also popular. These allow extensions to be added to both sides of the table, increasing its length to accommodate more people.

Sizes:
Expandable tables are available in a variety of sizes suitable for dining rooms or kitchens, from smaller tables perfect for creating a cozy atmosphere to larger expandable tables designed for spacious areas.

When choosing an expandable table from Ashley HomeStore, consider your home's overall style, the dining room's needs (such as the number of people you typically host), and the care requirements of the chosen material.

Ashley HomeStore’s range ensures there’s something that fits various tastes and functional needs, whether you prefer classic elegance, modern simplicity, or a combination of both styles.
