I saw a couple of years ago a beautiful rosewood ROUND dining table in hong kong that had hidden leaves (3) in the middle _base_ of the table that allowed it to expand to this 10-12 person round dining table. I can't remember the measurements, I'm guessing the table must have been at least 38 inches or so and expanded into a round 60 or more. I loved the concept but wasn't about to spend that much on a table especially rosewood due to climate here in the states. I've been unable to find anyone here who has such a concept and when I ask different furniture stores they say it is impossible that small round tables are only built to expand into oval. Has anyone ever seen one and if so where can I look?

Has anyone ever seen one and if so where can I look? How would that even be physically possible? I suppose you could have curved sections that clamped on the outside somehow, like company boards on a tavern table... but I can't see hidden leaves unless there was a lot of them, and each was a small section of the curve, and they somehow overlapped themselves underneath the apron.  I would be very interested to see a design if anyone comes up with it.

It doesn't show the expansion but you might be able to find a store in your area that has one. Gary

of them, and each was a small section of the curve, and they somehow overlapped themselves underneath the apron.  I would be very interested to see a design if anyone comes up with it. Me too.  I can sort of imagine how it might be possible, but there would be a lot of technical challenges to solve.  It sounds like a fascinating design.
