Do the butterfly leaves fold out as one pulls the "drawers" out, or must they be physically picked up and placed on the table platform? The description says they are "stored" inside. I'm not clear on what is meant.

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.

No it stores as seen in pictures. It's a great table for the money but not good for travel

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.

I'm not at home to see if they are on rails or not, but I know we haven't had any trouble with them falling out or anything like that. The drawers are pretty small though, so they are ones you probably won't use very often. I have decks of cards, extra photos, and things like that in mine. Overall, I have been very pleased with my table.

I wet the shelf a little first. That worked where it was bare wood but not where there was already shelf paper. My mother tells me it would stay if I cut and folded it precisely like she taught me but I don't think a bug would dare invade her kitchen anyway.

The leaf is on the opposite side of the drawers. When the leaf is down, the stools fit neatly underneath the table, and you can turn it around if you want the drawers facing you.

Each segment is screwed into the corresponding segment on the bottom and top bar. It is not impossible to take them apart and store as smaller segments and would require unscrewing these when assembling and disassembling. When we slide it off we keep it assembled since it is usually only for a portion of the day every so often and isn't convenient enough to take apart.

Yes, just like the one's from your childhood. The legs clip into the top on 2 sides; you can completely remove the top or only one side and fold the legs in. I store mine under the sofa. I'm very happy with them. Nice to have new than used (which I couldn't easily find).

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.

Both of the benches do fold up and are stored inside of the table. It's very convenient and portable!

folds flat just like the large plastic banquet tables then folds in half and snaps closed- legs fit snuggly inside the frame of table probably no more than 5- 6 or so inches when folded in half. Benches are individual too they also fold in half We really like the set, we have them leaned up against the wall in our garage always handy but out of the way I loaned them out so I can't go out and measure them right now hope this was helpful we have put them in the trunk of our car fits easily

The table does not fold down. It swivels 360 degrees so, if you have either the width or depth of the table next to your bed, you swivel it so that it is not over the bed. I use it in this position - it's like a nightstand next to the bed. You could also use the twisting lock to unlock the table and its part of the post and remove just that, but that's kind of clunky, and you might trip over it on the floor.

The one I purchased was a 48" diameter round butterfly table. It completely folds to about 8" which is great for storage. Sounds like the description and the title have a major discrepancy.

My daughter has outgrown it and it is still set up in her nursery because I haven't been able to get it folded up and put away. Sorry!

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.)

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.

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.
