a type of table with hinged leaves that can be folded down for easy storage

A gateleg table is a type of table with foldable sides that are supported by hinged legs, which swing out like a gate to extend the table. When the sides are folded down, the table takes up less space, making it ideal for smaller areas. When the sides are extended, the table provides more surface area for dining or working. Gateleg tables are often made from wood and have a classic, traditional design. They are versatile and space-saving, making them popular for use in kitchens, dining rooms, or as occasional tables in various rooms.
