The best place to store your dining room table extension leaves is in a horizontal space away from direct sunlight. In fact, sunrays can cause your hardwood leaves to fade over time, so it’s much safer to store them in a darker area.
As for their position, we know that placing them vertically might seem like a practical solution as it will take up less space. However, it could also cause your leaf to warp after a few years, meaning that it might no longer fit inside your table. That’s why it’s better to store your dining room table extension leaves horizontally (for example, on the bottom of a wardrobe or in a particularly large drawer).
For additional peace of mind, we also recommend covering them with bubble wrap or sheets to protect them against scuffs and scratches.
