A round dining table can lend a cozy feel to the space, whether it is located in the kitchen itself, or in a separate room or alcove. It might be ideal for you and your partner, with just enough space to accommodate food, wine and centerpiece. Or it might accommodate four, for a group of roommates or a young family. Still, occasions arise when your dining table will have to seat a group of six or more. A round extender table, with detached or foldout leaves, is the ideal solution.
Instructions
Detachable Leaf
1. Undo the table's locking mechanism. If your table locks into place, you should find some clips or clasps on either side of where the table separates.
2. Pull the table apart. It will separate at the center of the table top. A set of interior pegs will be revealed on one half of †he table and a set of peg holes will become apparent on the other.
3. Pull out the leaf. If the leaf is stored underneath the table top, you should be able to find it near the opening in the table. if the leaf is stored separately, place it near the table. The leaf will have pegs on one side and peg holes on the other.
4. Put the leaf into the space between the two halves of the table, taking care to line up the pegs and peg holes on either side of the leaf.
5. Stick the pegs into the table's holes on the side of the extender leaf.
6. Stick the table's pegs into the leaf's holes.
7. Push in on the tabletop halves until they firmly abut the leaf.
8. Lock in the leaf with the available mechanism.

10. Pull out the butterfly leaf. You will see it nestled just underneath the table top.
