With respects to Hermes and you other design geeks (me too!)

Why some things appear twice I do not know.
As you can imagine, this is right up my alley. I love those expanding tables. I've been playing with ideas for a console table that expands to seat 6 or more diners.

I have a dropleaf table with four folding chairs inside. Well, only three actually, I broke one. But the small fold TV meal type table fits in there as well.
Essential in a one room apartment! It was a bit of luck over 20 years ago, I saw it priced at £70 and decided on the spot. Two weeks later, in the same shop, it was priced at twice that. At the moment it is serving as my electronics work bench. I hate wasted volume, I know there is usable storage space under the seat of my sofa but cannot untilise it!

I also had some good luck in Beirut when I got my Saarinen dining table for about 20% of the normal price because of the unstable situation there. I will post a photo of it with the story in the Objects of Desire thread. It is only 1200mm in diameter, so only seats a maximum of six people.
