Building a Foldable Dining Table

Make a dinner table fit for small spaces!

Logan Newman

Do you have a small space but still want to entertain and have a nice place to eat dinner? Well Logan has a design for you. In this video, he builds a dining table which folds to a small footprint and the benches can stack for easy storage. It's such a clean design and very functional.

This table is designed to look good and be ready to give your family those extra seats you need for dinner in your small space. In a closed position the table measures 48 inches long by 15 inches wide in the closed position and 48 by 30 inches wide in the open position. The benches fit underneath the table, with the 2 smallest benches fitting underneath the one larger bench. 

This video will walk you through the steps to make this table and show how I did it, as well as offer some steps for changes to the design and options for your own personal touch. The measurements of the finished piece are available below:
