This extendable dining table was a great addition to our flat. Since moving we are looking for something a little bigger so that's why we are selling it. Still in perfect condition! The middle section is connected by a hinge and is a part of the table (not loose). It stays tucked away underneath the table top when not needed and can flip out and pop into place when needed. (see video) This table was £350 new on Argos and we're selling for £200, so great value for this table in perfect condition. please inquire if you have any questions.
