The Best Kitchen and Dining Room Tables From West Elm

West Elm Box Frame Drop-Leaf Expandable Table ($699)

This Box Frame Drop-Leaf Expandable Table can seat six people when it's fully extended. When not in use, the sides can be put down to make this table perfectly compact — and ideal for smaller apartments or homes.

What we love:

• This expandable table transforms from a cozy two-seater to a spacious six-seater when it's fully extended.

Who it's best for:

• This table is best for those who currently live in a small space but may have a bigger space in the future.

Who should avoid it:

• The drop-down leaves are visible when they're not in use, which is worth noting if you're looking for a piece with hidden leaves.
