They must be picked up and placed on the table platform. It is the table platform that folds out as the "drawers are puled out.

The leaves are stored inside the base (behind the large doors) and you must pick them up and place them on the platform. They aren't heavy and they're easy to unfold.They all fit on one side of cabinet so the other side is available for storage.

They do have to be taken out of the cabinet and put on the top....just a quick little chore. I love mine!

They are placed on top after it is pulled out. Half of the cabinet shown is filled with the four or five leaves, so don't plan on that space for storage. It is real wood, super quality. The center support drops down.

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!

The leaves are stored behind the doors. When you pull out on the drawer the support for the leaves unstack from their nested position. We used candle wax in the grooves to help them pull out easier. Then you physically place the leaves on the platform. We have really enjoyed the table that is ready to expand for company.

There are 5 butterfly leaves inside that have to be placed in separately. You can make the table how ever long you want. I really like mine. I have had it for 3 years now and I get lots of compliments on it. It is a heavy piece of furniture.

They must be physically placed on the table platform...but it's very easy and quick to do.

The leaf is detachable. It goes right in the middle of the table, sinks in nicely.

yes....we have our table currently set up without leaves and we sit a chair at each end no problem. The only thing is when you tuck chairs under the table (when you aren't using them) you have to tilt them slightly backward first to get over the frame of the table that sits on the floor. But this isn't really that big of a deal. With or without leaves however, there is really no issues when sitting.

Unfortunately, the leaves do NOT store inside of the table. It would have been great if they did! There are two leaves that are the same size as the table top when it's closed.

Its folds in half for compact storage. The legs fold under and store inside the two table top halves. Its a pretty smart collapsable system.Its looks really clean in storage mode and is easy to tote around with built in grips/handles.

I don't think it stores under the table. We always keep it extended. The one time I remember taking out the leaf, we stored it under our couch.

The legs fold flat against the table for storage. The table does not fold in half like some do.

The Pavillion is bigger, holds more Butterflies. My son loves it. He's the one who picked it. I think it's worth the extra $5.00 Next spring we'll order a few different species of Butterflies. It's big enough to hold several Butterflies at once.

There is a molded section inside the board. The board folds in half (bottom to bottom) and the pieces are kept inside. Fair warning - the plastic molded holder is really cheap. I've commented on this product before and basically I give it maybe a 2 to 2.5 stars out of 5 stars for quality and appearance for the price paid.

It's not actually a drawer. It just looks like one. You should also know that the extra leaves do not store inside of the table. So, you have to have another place to keep them. Otherwise, it's a great table that works really well for our needs.

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

Dear Kathy, You are partly correct. On one side where the legs attach to the bottom of the table the leges are clipped on so that side detaches from the bottom. The other side the legs are hinged so that they fold up. Where the legs overlap in the middle there is a pin allowing the legs to fold up.

The table is extended by a fold-out leaf in the middle of the table. We have often had six people around the table with the extension leaf. You can actually seat up to eight with the leaf (if you have the chairs of course ;))

The legs fold, but the table itself does not. This is probably a good thing, I bought this table specifically for the fact that the table does not fold. After using a couple of different folding tables, I realized cards get stuck on the fold when dealing and the table never lies completely flat. I've been very happy with this table, it does take up a little more room in storage but that's about the only complaint.

2 leaves. No you can't store them in the table. I store mine under my couch and loveseat. ;)

The whole tabletop is hinged onto the base, and it lifts up and forward a bit. That forward part is what keeps it from falling right back down, and the piece is so heavy that it does not tip over. Only the tabletop moves, not any part of the base or the drawers. The piece is quite heavy, but it moves easily because of the (mostly) hidden wheels at the base. I absolutely love my table because it has quite a lot of storage, it serves as a coffee table, and then it serves as a higher dinner table when I eat in the living room. It is also convenient to have the table at a higher height for jigsaw puzzles. The whole tabletop is hinged onto the base, and it lifts up and forward a bit.
