guys, the unique thing about this table is that it has slats in two directions

Looks like a very well made table, nice workmanship. Just can't believe no one has ever seen one of these before. We have a table thats easily 40+ years old that does that.

I like this table. Gr8 design. I thought it was just a center leaf table, but when you opened it up in the opposite direction, then I found it to be a very useful design.

Tables based on this principle were widely used in ussr a lot of people still have them. But they were expanding in only one direction i think

Many tables from past that are well-made, but expensive to produce. I tried to make a table that was well-made, and not as expensive to produce. Problem is that it is functional and relatively expensive, about $5000.00 retail. Result is people who want the table because it is funtional, do not have that kind of $ for a table. People with $, do not want it because it is functional - but good for high-end places with limited space, i.e., condos and small cottages.
Thx for your interest

Here's an example, my folks have an antique snookertable/dining table in the kitchen, this is from around 1880 and it's much more intelligent than most furniture out there today, it can raise and lower the VERY heavy tabletop to the appropriate height by the pull of one spring assisted lever, dont get me wrong im not trying to break your design down, it's up to current standards and is nice craftsmanship. but imo the standards should be higher in this day and age.
The thing is that apartments and flats are being built smaller in europe, specially in spain and the netherlands. That's why I was wondering how they should be kept.
Thanks a lot

@alfonsvet I apologize for sounding testy. I am working on a smaller version. There is also the possibility of folding the long leaf and storing it beneath the table surface with the other to leaves. The latter is much more expensive to produce, and does not look as good. I appreciate your response.

Not useful or helpful. Where should boards be kept? An extra cupboard to keep them???

Interesting comment and question. I suppose it is not useful or helpful in your particular circumstances. It is not for everyone. Yes, you have to put the inserts under a bed, in a closet, hang them on the wall; they are relatively thin. I have something to store them in, but you seem to have other issues. Most living spaces these days have some closet space or a place for a bed. Thk U.
