Expandable Dining Table Flexes For Your Pleasure

TreeHugger has seen its fair share of transforming tables, but in our quest for objects that allows us to get more from less, this one offers a new trick. Rather than folding down or folding up (?), this one splits right down the middle, adding surface area and increasing capacity. Two rolling carts slide into either side, offering a spot for storage and serving. When the table is closed, they roll off into the corner and out of the way. Smart.

We aren't sure if the MDF (medium density fiberboard) is adhered with formaldehyde-laden glues -- it often is -- and that wouldn't be good for you and your indoor air quality, but the concept is still solid. Hit the jump to see the table in all its iterations. ::Draernert via ::Trendir
