Can you use this table with only one leaf up against a wall?

Yes, you can. The table is fairly sturdy and will stand up OK with one side against the wall.

Yes - This is how we normally have it. It works perfectly for my Mom. We use the full size when she has company.

Yes!! It's more of a two person table without be leaf and a four person table with the leaf as well.

It's designed for a corner and that's really where you should use it. There are MANY models out there to be used flush against the wall, I suggest you get one of those. This piece is for a corner.

Yes you can. I have one end and the back against the wall, and it works fine.

I just use an old shelf table. It just happened to be the right size. I've seem wheeled, utility carts that would work well, too. If you want to put it against a wall, make sure you allow for enough space to open the lid.

Yes, there there is a half inch lip around the top or you could use the leg side bars. The table is very lite.

My wife and I love this table, but it would not work perpendicular to the wall. I would suggest a fold down ironing board instead if you're cramped for space. It would be much easier to modify to your needs than the stainless steel table you're looking at.

No- walls are provided for 2 sides, I think. I am not the owner and we built it according to our needs. Call the company to ask.

I do not advise using as a stand-alone unless the table is against a wall or some other sturdy surface. We use the table half folded against a wall. It has a tendency to wobble without this support because it is top heavy. We LOVE this table and use it every day.

Sure, why not? Though I would put something under the feet to avoid scratching the table. Other than that I wouldn't see any issue with it, unless there are some other unforeseen safety complications.

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

No, I don't think so. But we love our set. The table is REALLY bigger than you think. I don't have room to put the leaf in because of the size of my room. You could always recover...I like the color, it's really neutral and with the black and dark wood, it's really beautiful.Good Luck-

It may be used in the flat position. Why couldn't you use it as an artist's table?

Without the leaf, the side chair prevent the arm chairs from fitting under the table. Once the leaf is in all fits under the table.

There is no leaf, the table top is in one piece but you have to bolt the legs on, very easy. It is a very beautiful and sturdy table.

When the leaf is up, it's sturdy and will not collapse under the weight of your elbow. The table is small and rather lightweight - which makes sense because it it small. I would not put a LOT of weight on one leaf. The table might tip if you put excessive weight on one side, but it won't tip over under normal use.

You could definitely cut a leaf-sized piece off and only use it when you add the leaf. In fact that's a fantastic idea and I am going to do that shortly. I had cut the pad to be the size of the table with the leaf and just let it hang over the edges when the leaf is removed. But your idea is much better.
