This table was purchased primarily as a dining table, but it doubles as a desk. When not being used for family gatherings, one leaf is dropped down and the table is pushed up against the wall. The leaves add a total of 22" to the width of the table. The stunning Tiger Maple boards for the table top were special ordered and all come from the same tree - flitch matched. Note that the price shown is for a standard table top. Please let me know if you are interested in a flitch matched top.
