This is terrific!  I want to be able to extend my dining capacity for the holidays but I don't want to buy a larger table to extend.  This table folds lengthwise and becomes a very pretty console table that looks great in my hallway, but that is easily pulled out and used along with my current dining table for holiday guests.  It is not an expensive piece but it is terrific as a console.  The gray color looks great in my hallway.  Perfect for an apartment.
