I searched everywhere for a round extending glass table and eventually found this ingenious piece of engineering of an extending table. It extends into a large oval and I have seated upto 10 people around it . It cost a lot of money but I love it, only downside is it takes a lot to keep it looking sparkling clean. Also you can keep an eye on your guest and see if anyone is playing footsie under the table. I have moved several times with this table and it has fitted in perfectly in every home. It also gets a lot of ohh's and ahh's when you show people how it extends. It is worth every substantial penny I bought it for.

Great space. Not sure this is big enough but childproof & good price. White gloss. Two of my friends have this table. http://www.next.co.uk/homeware/dining-room/furniture/10. Dar Lighting do some great big shade pendants.

Surely you get stuff - food and debris caught in the small gaps and joins of the parquet - not very hygienic, I'd have thought.

Hi @Laura G Please could you tell me how much clearance space you have from the wall to the dining table? I have a similar layout to yourself that I am building. I was considering a different orinentation but structural engineer/architect wouldnt allow once knocked through so decided it was best to sacrafice the side porch in favour of 1 wall kitchen. I'm going through a bit of a design dilemma at the moment preventing me from finishing the project, but actually everything seems to fit nicely for yourself. Do you have a floor plan you could share please? Here's where mine is currently at Thanks :)
