Where are the end leaves stored when not used? Does it need to be kept else where or can it be stored underneath the table?

The leaves will need to be kept else where. Also, when you remove the leaves you can see the hardware under the table where the leaves attach.

They need to be stored elsewhere. There is not a "built in" place for them in the table.

There is one leaf and it must be stored elsewhere. The leaf is inserted between the two main end pieces.

There are two leaves and they don't store inside the table. Store somewhere else.

I sometimes store it on its edge up against a wall and between the deck rail and the wall. This only partly works for me, as the part that isn't wedged tends to bend. So I would say if you have a well supported place for it to be, that you could store it on its edge, but it should be supported in at least 2 places, or more.

If I recall correctly, the leaf was located in a separate box inside the larger dining table box. It was located under the main table top.

They are physically taken out of the storage area and placed on the table, just like any dining table that comes with "leaves." We love it!

Leaves do NOT store in the table. From the console table, it folds open once, so technically one leaf is a part of the table. To extend to full, you need two more leaves and those need to go somewhere else (like a closet, which is where I have them.)

No storage. Has weathered the first summer well, gets full sun 6-8hrs/day. Now, this winter I have been placing the table over my pansy pot for protection, when the weather gets real bad. So far, they are still blooming!

I store mine as I do good loose leaf tea, in a sealed airtight container at room temperature away from heat or direct sunlight. I hope this helps.

There isn't a single central leaf. Instead there are two leaves on ether end. All the chairs fit without the leaves and they are very easy to remove. They are latched on with metal latches. If you can manage to construct the table, removing the leaves is very simple.

The table does not fold in half. The legs fold and store into the bottom of the table.

Yes, the table is round without the leaf and oval with the leaf. If your looking to save on space use without leaf. It's a big difference when the leaf is added I like it that way. Great table and easy to assemble.

I cannot speak for that reviewer or the table they received. But, our table included a leaf. You have to go under the table to unlatch it. Then pull each end of the table to separate it at the center. The leaf fits down into this center area. We easily fit 6 around the table without the leaf. With the leaf, we can put 8 comfortably... and up to 10 if needed.

I have loose leaf tea from other places who recommend storing the unused portion in the freezer. I keep another portion stored in a glass jar in my pantry and refill that from the freezer stash when it runs out. I had mine for almost two years now and still tastes great!

Not sure what the question is but I keep mine year-round in a terrarium with small ferns and mosses. They tend to get lost outside due to their size.

If you keep the table completely folded, you could sort-of put each person at the short edge (i.e. not where the folded leaves are) but the structure of the table is such that your feet and chair would be hindered by the wood across the bottom. You can only have it totally folded or totally open- because you have to turn the top 90 degrees to keep the leaves, either they are both up or both down. So you can do 2 but not with a lot of comfort, and you would HAVE to be across from each other.

The actual shape is more round without the leaf. When the leaf is inserted it becomes an oval shape. Under the table top is a square storage cube. I keep my good silver there. I hope this helps. I really love the table and the cherry finish is wonderful. This is definitely worth the cost. I would purchase this again if I ever needed another dining table.

The leafs up or down do not effect the stability of the table. This is a very sturdy table!
