Butterfly Table: Defined

Having a look at the picture to the left will have you to think the table is something out of the Transformers franchise.

While it doesn’t necessarily fit into that group, it certainly has many of it’s qualities.

A butterfly table is a table that has the ability to either fold completely in half, with the two ‘wings’ (or halves of the table) hinging upon a central line (sometimes known as  a rudder).

A butterfly leaf, as pictured in this case, is a furniture addition that can fold completely flat and is placed in the middle of a table in order to extend it’s length.

The Lisa Table by Homelegance features a butterfly leaf extension that becomes useful whether you’re serving a couple of extra people or a couple of extra dishes.

The black cherry finish provides this casual dining set with a hint of elegance.

The butterfly leaf extension is a concept that has been around for years, although it’s relevance and use seems to come and go. If you’ve ever had the option of one available to you in time of need, its usefulness is never up for debate.
