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.

Sorry for the up and thx for the idea! I got the usual coffee table. If you got a coffee pot nearby, sometimes it's really hard to clean it up! After my wife's struggling I've found this article which is helpful for cleaning and comfort ideas! Take care and all the best!

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