Beech Wood Extension Tables

The 'Roll-Out' Extending Table by Marcus Voraa is Contemporary

— March 2, 2017 — Art & Design
Those who have extending tables in their home know how cumbersome it can be to make them bigger when guests come over, so the 'Roll-Out' table by Marcus Voraa solves this problem.

The 'Roll-Out' table features a roll-up surface that is kept wound in a spool until it is needed. The user then rotates the steel crank to allow the surface to be extended, which enables the table to grow three-times its size in just seconds. This makes it ideal for small homes where the inhabitant wants to maintain a lifestyle that is focused on entertaining and dinner parties.

The 'Roll-Out' extending table is crafted from beech wood and has been treated with beeswax to ensure it makes a stylish piece of furniture in virtually any home space.
