The extending table by THONET was purchased in a Berlin design furniture store around 1969 and has been in one hand ever since. Even the round table with a central leg in a simple, very hard-wearing design has its charm. Because of the good workmanship, the furniture can also be expanded with two extension leaves up to 240 cm x 120 cm for a large family. The insert plates show slight signs of wear, they are slightly warped and have small chips and cracks in the Formica, which do not affect the function.

A central dining table for all purposes, even when there are many visitors! This was probably the intention of the traditional manufacturer THONET with this product. Both formally and in terms of function, one can say: goal achieved very well! After all, the furniture is in good condition even after more than 50 years of use, thanks to the high quality of workmanship! The simple shapes and colors and the fully functional mechanism still make the piece of furniture a classic that also exists in modern facilities.
