Practical disadvantages: I would guess it's fairly heavy and that you can't lift it by the top, so moving it looks like it would be an ordeal. It also looks like you'll hit your knees on the rim under the table in the expanded position. And the small base means it will probably tip over if someone leans on it. I'm by no means dissing this table - as I said it's stunning.

Absolutely NUTS! I suddenly have a really strong urge to own this table.... One improvement I think I would love to see is a tapered cut on the bottom piece to give the illusion that the table is thinner than it really is, just like how laptops achieve looking thin as a coin, while they are actually close to 20mm. I can't figure out whether this would even be possible - but it would be really sweet! Nonetheless, this is a absolutely fantastic result as is! Big time congrats on getting past the finish line on this project

Wow! I absolutely love it and it is very impressive i'm very keen to get the plans. However i would love to see another design in the future with some changes too. Going by the measurements, small mode currently seats 4 (possibly 5) people which is a great size. Large "only" increases that to 6 people. not a very big increase. There seems also to be the issue with knee-space. With it deployed to large mode the skirt comes down quite a bit and is only inset 15cm from the edge making it perfectly out of view to strike your knee in if you push your chair in. Sure you can go up slightly in table height but the knee clearance to the table top must not be too much either before it is uncomfortable. I would love to see a 6 panel piece and honestly with some clever storage in the legs i think most would be happy with some of the expanding panels not being integral and automatically deployed so the skirt can be less tall and design simpler.

Still looks great 🤗

0) How does the table stay locked in the expanded position? Or if you rotate it it becomes unlocked? 1) Need to apply a varnish or some type of finish it looks unfinished right now 2) What about cereal or other debris falling into the mechanism, how can it be cleaned 3) Maintenance: Grease? Wood Fatigue? Leveling the table (if its angled is the mechanism affected?)
