Vintage Gateleg Drop-Leaf Extension Dining Table

Description : Vintage wood dining table with a highly adaptable gateleg design, two hinged drop sides, and two removable 9 ⅛" extension leaves. The table can be configured from a compact 28 ¼" width with both sides dropped to a generous oval dining surface when fully opened and extended. Turned legs, stretcher supports, rounded ends, and a warm medium-brown finish give the piece a traditional character. The top shows scratches, finish wear, and other marks from normal use. Protective fitted table pads covering the full tabletop are included, making this a practical reclaimed piece for everyday dining and entertaining.
