Trestle Tables
Seating around the H-frame base can offer a little bit of a challenge.
A 60” table with a trestle base can only fit one person between the base supports, so it typically seats 4 people, while other styles can seat up to 6. Larger sizes like 66” and 72” can fit two people between the supports, allowing for about 6 seats, while other styles may seat up to 8.
Some of our tables can also expand to accommodate up to 18–20 people with the addition of drop-down support legs.
We also recommend adding a leaf at all times to increase the clearance at the ends of the table, for adequate knee clearance.
Drop Down Legs
For tables with five or more extensions, our builders add drop down legs to allow stability at extended lengths. The legs use hinges at the top and they can fold under the top and rest on the mounting plates when not in use. They only need to be used when the table is extended with more than 4 leaves.
Geared table slides
Geared table slides are used on tables with 1 - 4 leaves (unless otherwise noted). These slides allow for ease of use when opening and closing. They cannot be used on tables with 5 or more extensions.
Wooden Table slides
For Tables with five or more extensions, we use wooden tables. These are lighter-weight than the geared extensions and allow for the telescoping function needed to expand to hold up to 12 extensions.

Leaves are easily inserted and lined up with engraved numbers.
