Are extension tables like this table with this wonderful ratchet system, are they weaker than a one-piece table? Not if it's built correctly, not if it's built in America, not if it's built by Amish craftsmen in the heartland of America.

Cheap extension tables can wobble because the mechanism and supports are made to save money, probably made in China. A quality Amish table that extends uses precision joinery, heavy-duty slides, and carefully engineered support systems that lock everything together.
Whether you've got 4 people eating dinner on a Tuesday night or 14 gathered for Christmas, the table stays solid, the food stays fresh, hot, and it tastes great. That's the difference between building something to impress you today that turns into particle board and is destroyed 5 years from now, or building something your grandchildren will be using, talking about that Christmas dinner 25 years ago.

That's why Gallery Furniture sells solid wood tables and chairs. They've got extension leaves quite often underneath the wonderful slides here. Solid wood tables and chairs with extensions, they'll last a lifetime. At Gallery Furniture, they're Made in America, they're made for your Texas home.
