Extend Glass Dining Room Tables

Place two or more tables together to easily extend your dining tables.


Most glass dining room tables come with an extension piece that will extend the table enough to add a minimum of two extra seats. During the holidays or when throwing a party, you may find you need to extend your glass dining room table to accommodate more people and more food. You may also find that you need to be inventive when extending your glass dining room table. Be careful to protect the beauty of your glass table and prevent scratches by covering it before you attempt to extend it.


Instructions


1. Measure your glass dining room table from the table top to the floor with a tape measure. Choose tables that are equal or close to the height of your glass dining room table. If your glass table has square edges it will be easier to achieve a more uniform look.


2. Look in your home first for tables that can be used for extensions. Take note of the height of your glass dining room table and search for tables that can be used to extend the length of your table. Try combining your kitchen and glass dining room table to lengthen the table. Try patio tables you may have outside to use as an extension for your glass dining room table.


3. Search home improvement stores or furniture stores for a suitable extension for your glass dining room table. Keep in mind the table has to be safe for your family and friends to easily move around. Don't choose pieces that are too large for your room or staging area.


4. Choose a decorative or festive tablecloth to uniformly combine the tables. Select a tablecloth that is long and wide enough to cover both tables so they appear to be one. Place a centerpiece in the middle of the table to give the combined tables balance. If the table you are using to extend the glass dining room table is taller or shorter than the glass table, a centerpiece will draw more attention.








5. Try table extenders to add length to your glass dining table. Remove the glass top from your dining table and use table extenders over the base of the glass dining table to create more length. Glass tables are more fragile than wood. Use caution when you use table extenders on or around glass.
