This Ingenious Table Seamlessly Transforms from Round to Oval, and Puts an End to the Dreaded Squeeze

Ding dong, the cousins are here! And so are the grandparents, aunts, uncles, and in-laws. Unless you happen to own an extra-long table fit for The Great Hall at Hogwarts, divisions are inevitable: multiple tables, and the kids go over there. But wait! In the flurry of planning, you forgot one key detail: there’s no room left for you at the adult table.

But hey, you’re the host! You grab a stool, squeeze in with the six-year-olds, and make the best of it. You’re probably happy to do it. Still, wouldn’t it be nice if there was a dining table idea out there that could fit everyone all at once?

Well, there is — an extendable table, and I've just found the most stylish one. Meet the Transformer Round Table by Transformer Table. Even without the discount, it’s worth a shout out, but right now it’s also over $1,000 off for Black Friday, priced at just $1,950 (down from $3,000). At first glance, it’s a sleek, Scandi-style solid wood table, ideal for cozy kitchens and nooks. But pull its sides, and voilà — it transforms into an elegant, elongated oval table that can comfortably seat up to ten people. Magic.

Oh, and the pedestal base? It’s not just for show — it hides secret storage compartments with removable shelving, perfect for small dining rooms or stashing extra plates and glassware. Available in Scandinavian Oak, Smoked Hickory, and Dark Walnut, this table’s intricate detailing makes its secret functionality all the more impressive.

The Transformer’s scalability is also genius. You can configure it with zero panels (seating four), one panel (seating six), two panels (seating eight), or three panels (seating up to ten). Fully extended, it reaches a whopping 105 inches in length, and all three panels come included in the current sale price.

Sure, you could find cheaper extendable tables (and I have, see below), but they often look like extendable tables. This one’s minimalist design is so seamless, so aligned with current dining table trends, even I have a hard time believing it packs this much complexity. It’s also durable, easy to clean, and resistant to heat, stains, scratches, and liquids — making it just as suitable for kids as it is for red wine-loving adults.

The holidays are just around the corner, and I’m willing to bet you’ve got some entertaining on your dance card. This year, bring the whole family together — and all at one chic, extended table. And if the price tag isn’t quite right for your budget, or you’re eyeing a different style, don’t worry — I’ve included a few alternative modern dining room ideas below. Say goodbye to the kids’ table for good.
