Dining table for 2 that can extend up to 6?

[Coffee62]

Hi all. Having trouble finding a dining table that for everyday use is small and compact for just 2 people, but could extend up to 6 people if needed
I can find 4 seaters extending to 6, or 6 seaters extending to 8.

Does anyone know if there’s such a thing? Getting a 4 seater isn’t much of an option as our kitchen is small.

There was one in dunelm a few weeks back, was less than 200£

Or this gate leg one if it's against a wall.

These are great, thank you!

You probably want a drop-leaf table. If you'd move it to another room to seat six, then you could even do something like a drop-leaf table which is permanently collapsed in the other room, as a sort of decorative sideboard (some of the Ikea ones have storage in for example) then a small, 2-seater table which matches height and width which can be added onto one end of it. With a tablecloth it wouldn't be hugely obvious that there are two tables pushed together.

Ikea Norden can probably seat 6 at a pinch and would be OK for 2 day to day plus the side can be folded down if you need more space in the kitchen.

I have one similar to this from Groupon about 10 years ago, it's called the goliath dining table there are a few that come up if you Google, here is an example -

I was going to suggest ikea norden too.

My mum has it in her tiny flat and it works well. You could have both leaves dropped and use it as a tiny breakfast bar, bring out one leg for plenty of space for 2 and both legs you could sit 6. It’s also surprisingly solid given the price.

We purchased our extending table from AIF. Great selection and a really friendly customer service team.

We have a similar gateleg as our main kitchen table, easily seats up to 8 but then just put a flap down and it's really compact.

We purchased our extending table from a company called Adventures in Furniture. Amazing quality and a very functional extension mechanism.
