Extendable console table, the space-saving style solution

Very often, the space you have available is not what you would need in reality: an extendable console can solve many space problems with style and practicality in even very different environments, such as a home, an office or a company.

Come and visit all our extending console models!

Just think about it: when no extra storage space is needed, the extending console has a very small footprint and can be used simply as a support point. When it becomes necessary to have more space, thanks to a simple operation it is possible to transform an extensible console already mounted into a table on which to work or around which several people can have lunch.

The first thought could go to the fact that extending a console could be a particularly complicated operation: nothing could be more wrong with the consoles, which include absolutely easy to follow instructions for extending the console and in just a few minutes you can transform your dining room or meeting room to welcome our guests.

The mechanisms for the extending console are different from each other depending on the different models, but all guarantee maximum safety when the top is extended and the simplicity of both extending and removing any extensions to bring the console back to its original size.

Extendable design consoles: the different models and different technologies

Among the models of extendable console table there are certainly interesting those equipped with a system of extensions, which can be in variable number, which must be mounted to increase the available length of the top (which can reach up to 300 cm, transforming the console table into a dining table that can accommodate up to 14 people).

In spite of the large gain in space, the technology of the extendable consoles makes it possible to obtain a stable top without the need to have several points of support on the floor: in fact, these possible supports could prove particularly annoying for diners, making the overall experience of a lunch or a meeting in the office less pleasant.

To overcome this inconvenience, the most effective solution is to provide a central support, normally made of wood, which supports the entire top and can rotate, so as not to create problems to place the legs of people who are near the support itself: this type of solution allows to have a console that turns into a table without having to fight with the encumbrance of any "legs". And the extensions, when not in use, can be answered in a discreet container, which can be placed in a pantry or in a cupboard, without taking up too much space.

The extending console with built-in extensions and central support is certainly the simplest solution, but there are also other technologies that make it possible to recover space, using different technical solutions. For example, instead of the central support, you can choose an extensible console with a double support system, to be inserted at the end of the extended top. In this way it is possible to obtain the maximum length of the top combined with the maximum stability that is guaranteed by the central support and the two additional supports: all this always with a non bulky structure under the top, so as not to create discomfort to those who sit at the ends of the open top.

An example of this technology is the Rugiada console: a skilful combination of two different materials such as iron and wood, which give life to a solution that is both modern and classic in style. To lengthen the console use the practical aluminium guides, which are made to slide effortlessly, in which the extensions can be inserted: up to 5 extensions can be inserted, to reach a maximum length of 3 metres. As we have seen, the supports must be inserted at both ends of the top and, when not in use, they can be assembled and used as a trolley to hold the extensions, in order to save space. It is a simple operation, just follow the assembly instructions for the extensible console table to obtain in a few minutes the dining or office table suitable for our guests, even if numerous.

If we are looking for an even different solution, we can opt for an extensible console table with an "X" shaped support: this is a particular structure, especially in terms of style, which always guarantees maximum stability and safety. Normally these models of extending console table are equipped with 2 supports, which must be added to the central support always present, but it is also possible to choose a model equipped with 4 supports, in order to guarantee maximum stability (it can be a useful solution in all those cases where an intensive use of the extended top is foreseen or where important weights are foreseen to be placed on it.

Built with this technology is the Nicole Extendable Console: the shapes are those of a modern furnishing object and the contrast between the iron structure and the top in melamine, available in classic finishes and in the particular cement finish, is particular. The structure can also be painted in an elegant anthracite colour or in a RAL stair colour at the customer's request.

Extendable console table: not just a top

If the need, in addition to that of a long top, is also to have more space available, there are specially designed models of extendable console: their appearance is that of a storage unit, which can have two or three shelves, but in a few moves, thanks to the extensions and the system of aluminium guides, can be transformed into a top even three meters long, perfect for any situation where there are several people. The structure of the cabinet becomes the central support of the top, to which must be added, at both ends, the support systems, which guarantee maximum stability.

An innovative idea for a new form of console, capable of combining style and practicality in a simple yet effective way.

Extendable console table: what about assembly?

A further advantage of the different models of this type of furniture is the simplicity of use: in fact, the extensible console already assembled does not require any particular intervention for installation (except to eliminate the packaging in which it is delivered) and is ready to be used immediately. As far as the long top is concerned, simply follow the extensible console assembly instructions: this is not a complicated operation, but it only takes a few minutes to lengthen the top and bring it back to its original size.

Considering the different models of extensible console already assembled, it is very easy to find the one that best suits your furnishing and design tastes, being able to choose between more modern and classic style solutions. All this always with the security of having a high quality product that allows you to flexibly manage the available space: you can also receive "surprise" guests without any more discomfort, because in a few minutes it becomes possible, thanks to the extendable console with built-in extensions, to make available a top with flexible length, able to accommodate up to more than 10 people.
