Can this table be used for 2 people with one leaf folded down?

Yes, there is plenty of space for two people to eat at the table with a leaf folded down.

I wouldn't see any reason why two normal sized people couldn't share half of the table with the leaf down. It seats 4 people fully open.

Yes, we use it like that quite often. We bought ours in 2009. It has held up beautifully for 5 years, no wood splitting or separation. We've oiled it maybe two or three times in all these years. Ours is situated under a covered outdoor patio. During the winter months, we cover it up and put in the garage. We are still very satisfied with this table.

Yes, it has many great features and that is one of them. As noted, the problem is that less than 2 months in, the wood has started to separate. They used wood laminate rather than solid wood around the edges. Now, about 1 year later, the wood pieces are splitting and curling at the edges, and I oil it at least once a week, and often more. Too bad.

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-

If you mean by half folding it so it resembles a chair, no. Its not really practical. Hope this helps.

If the weight is evenly distributed and not top heavy, it would probably be ok. The table is relatively stable and balanced. I don't think that weight would cause it to collapse.

yes, but they are thicker front to back, so if you were just thinking if using half of one for a seat, it would be sloped. They do fold in half for easy carrying (I've noticed them in travel catalogs), so I don't think cutting them in half would be a problem, as it seems gel ends about 1/2 to an 1" before the outer seams.

It's possible, but you might have to figure out a way to secure the legs from one table to the legs to the other if you do that OR get one of those customized pads to lay across the two tables. Seems like a good idea though. NOTE: the legs have resin pads on their bottoms so the table doesn't shift around on my hardwood floor which was a nice feature that came with the table.

Probably, as long as it was put together properly. If you are pushing down you should be fine, however if you are pushing horizontally there is some give on my table no matter how much I tighten the screws. (I keep the leaf dropped and use this table to fold laundry on, maybe if the leaf is up it's sturdier?)

All in all, I'd say maybe. If you hook the chair to the table directly in line with the legs it might be stable enuf. But, using the folding sides of the table for the chair would probably end up with damage to the table, and/or an upset. This is a nice table and I really like it. Perfect size and it folds down to stay well out of the way. I'd be cautious about treating it too rough as I don't think it would hold up well under those conditions.

This table can only be extended by raising both ends while pivoting tabletop until long axis is parallel with the long axis of rectangular base (which provides main support for extended table top). In the year since purchasing, I've used the folded (unpivoted table top) for an informal meal with a friend on two occasions. It was a little awkward because our legs were too close to the base when it was in this position. So, if you plan to use it for two people most of the time, I would not recommend this table. But this table works very well for our family, and it looks great!

It is a very sturdy table and could be used for either of these purposes. However it doesn't fold up so you need to be able to store it flat against a wall etc.

4 people can sit very comfortably around this table.(with the leaf's out) The chairs will fit under with the leaf's down. Hope this helps.

Yes you can. Will fit two. But there isn't any room to fit your legs under the table so you will have to sit sideways.

I think you should be able to. I do not have any reclining furniture so I cannot try that out for you. However, I have a feeling this table is probably better utilized on a sturdy or flat surface.

The front table folds down... as long as you assemble it as per the instructions.

I have never tried to do this, but if you folded it lengthwise, you probably could. It would be tricky to do though and you would probably need help to compress and role at the same time.

Yes it is. Even without the leaf we can seat 6-7 comfortably but the table itself is only 64". It's a very nice table.

I did not try that. But I don't think so (sitting on the side with leafs down). The chairs are a bit uncomfortable to sit, mostly for kids or petite sized people. The table and the set is actually for crammed spaces, not for regular dining room.
