Quick answers

What is a drop leaf table?

A drop leaf table has hinged sections, called leaves, that fold down when not in use and lift up when more table space is needed.

What is the difference between a drop leaf table and a gateleg table?

A gateleg table is a type of drop leaf table. It uses hinged legs that swing out like gates to support the raised leaves.

Are drop leaf tables good for small spaces?

Yes. Drop leaf tables are ideal for small kitchens, flats, cottages, hallways, and compact dining spaces because they fold down when not in use.

How many people can sit at a drop leaf table?

Depending on the size, our drop leaf tables usually seat between 2 and 8 people when fully opened.

What size drop leaf table do I need?

Petite and Small sizes are best for compact spaces. Regular suits everyday family use. Large and Extra Large are better for larger kitchens, dining rooms, and entertaining.

Are oak drop leaf tables durable?

Yes. Oak is strong, long-lasting, and improves with age. Our tables are restored, refinished, and prepared for continued everyday use.

Can I choose the leg colour on my drop leaf table?

Yes. Nuts4Wood drop leaf tables feature restored natural oak tops with hand-painted legs in your chosen colour.

Do you deliver drop leaf tables across the UK?

Free UK Mainland Delivery is included. Scotland, rural areas, and remote areas may require a delivery quote before ordering.

Are your drop leaf tables vintage or new?

Our drop leaf tables are restored vintage pieces. Each table is cleaned, repaired, refinished, and customised by hand.

Can a drop leaf table be used as a hallway table?

Yes. With the leaves folded down, many drop leaf tables can work beautifully as hallway tables, console tables, or side tables.

Will my table look exactly like the photos?

Not exactly. Each table is a restored vintage piece, so the natural oak grain, wood tone, and character marks will vary from the photos. The overall gateleg shape, proportions, and painted-leg aesthetic will be similar, but your table is a one-off with its own individual charm.

Why Choose a Drop Leaf Table?

A drop leaf table is one of the most versatile furniture pieces for smaller homes. It can be folded down to save space, partly opened for everyday use, or fully opened when you need extra dining room. This makes it ideal for kitchens, dining rooms, flats, cottages, and open-plan living spaces.

Please Note

This is a vintage piece and may show subtle signs of age, use, or handcrafted origin. Small marks, natural variations, and slight measurement differences are part of the character of vintage furniture.

As these tables were handmade, they are rarely perfectly symmetrical and sizes may vary by a few centimetres.

All our furniture is cleaned, restored, and refinished to a high standard, giving every piece a renewed life while preserving its timeless appeal.
