$50,000 Expanding Table Edit
Fletcher Capstan Table

For a fantastic design and space saving idea, check out the Fletcher Capstan Table.  The expansion video is very cool.  However, this cool table comes with a catch.  It’ll cost you £25,000 to £35,000 ($50,000 to $70,000).  The company’s site describes, “It is a round table which, when rotated at its outer perimeter, amazingly doubles its seating capacity and, just as astonishingly, remains truly circular. Very importantly it stores its expansion leaves within itself. Existing tables can seat six persons when small, and twelve or more when expanded, but there are other design possibilities. Operation, which has been described as ‘pure magic’ by Boat International magazine, really is a sight to behold and extremely quick, it taking only three seconds to complete an entire expansion or reduction cycle.”
