Selling furniture is more than showing the nice woods and finishes. It also requires the understanding of<br />
what the client's wishes and tastes are for their dining room. There are some technical issues that can<br />
blow the sale because you do not know the answers to some very basic questi<strong>on</strong>s such as seating<br />
arrangements and basic styles.<br />
There are essentially 3 different styles of tables. The leg table which has legs at the four corners, the<br />
single pedestal table with a large single post in the center of the table and the trestle with a large<br />
comp<strong>on</strong>ent placed equal distant under the table. Each has advantages and different looks.<br />
The leg table is probably the sturdiest table of the three, but you do lose a bit of seating room at the<br />
corners and leg tables are really not applicable to round tops. The leg table accommodate a large variety<br />
of tops is probably the most popular style table in use. And the design of these tables is better suited for<br />
<strong>Amish</strong> dining room table while round tables require a bit more square footage in the room for servicing<br />
and eating.
The single pedestal table eliminates the issue with seating and also allows for the round top, but some<br />
claim to be a bit tippy especially with heavy dishes of food at an edge and without a proper counter<br />
balance and this is an important item to keep in mind with large dinner parties. It also allows for plenty<br />
of leg room under the table.<br />
The trestle tables give a higher stability factor than the single pedestal. This type of table also has the<br />
spacing free that the leg table takes, but there is less room for the feet and for those that like to stretch<br />
their legs will find the trestle to c<strong>on</strong>tend with. Because of the additi<strong>on</strong>al materials and labor in its<br />
manufacturing, the trestle tables are generally the most expensive.<br />
The next item for discussi<strong>on</strong> is the about slides and I am issuing a quote from a manufacturer.<br />
The slides used in all leg style tables up to 4 leaves are specially designed to take weight in the center of<br />
the table when opened. When opened, the equalizer slides used in pedestal or trestle style tables are<br />
designed to take the weight <strong>on</strong> the ends of the table. The slide manufacturer heartily discourages this as<br />
it is c<strong>on</strong>trary to design if equalizer slides are desired for the leg tables we will try to satisfy the request;<br />
however.
Another major point <strong>on</strong> the slides in that there are two types; the steel geared slide and the wooden<br />
slide. Rather than going into elaborate detail about cambers negative and positive and their interacti<strong>on</strong>,<br />
let us just say that steel geared slides are fine up to 4 leaves. Anything table to use more that 4 leaves<br />
must have the wooden slide, PERIOD. If they tell you different, they are WRONG.<br />
One of my <strong>Amish</strong> table builders, probably the best table builder in the <strong>Amish</strong> Furniture World told me<br />
so and he has been in business for a l<strong>on</strong>g time and has been a pi<strong>on</strong>eer in table manufacturing. They<br />
know more about tables than many big manufacturers and especially those who manufacturer overseas<br />
who sell quite inferior products compared to the real <strong>Amish</strong> furniture.<br />
Now you know enough about slides and if you have an issue, you can c<strong>on</strong>tact me and I will answer you,<br />
but it does not change the facts that have been presented.<br />
One other point <strong>on</strong> slides being that we make tables that will seat 20+ seating and a special hutch that<br />
serves 9 tucks and guests away in a corner the size of a butler or serving cart. But of course it has<br />
wooden slide as it should have and is an <strong>Amish</strong> original. This is the table that hides except for the large<br />
dinner parties or serves as a marvelous huge buffet table that would hold lots of foods,
The last item is serving size and size of the table. Each pers<strong>on</strong> is 24" <strong>on</strong> average and each leave is 12"<br />
wide. You will have <strong>on</strong>e pers<strong>on</strong> at the head and the other at the foot and that is 2. If the table is 48" l<strong>on</strong>g<br />
that will seat 2 pers<strong>on</strong>s <strong>on</strong> each side for a total of 6 at this table. Each leave being 12" wide equate to<br />
1/2 a pers<strong>on</strong>, so 2 leaves equal 2 seated pers<strong>on</strong>s. This will assist you in determining the size of the table.<br />
Now how many guests you have arrive for your dinner is another article and who to invite to dinner. By<br />
the say, my date cards for dinner is open especially in warm areas and I do black tie events. And I love all<br />
cuisine and not picky.<br />
Hope that this informati<strong>on</strong> will assist you in your next purchase. You are now in c<strong>on</strong>trol so when you<br />
walk into a furniture store, you just might know a bit more than the ordinary sales pers<strong>on</strong> and that is to<br />
your advantage.<br />
The leg table which has legs at the four corners, the single pedestal table with a large single post in the<br />
center of the table and the trestle with a large comp<strong>on</strong>ent placed equal distant under the table. The leg<br />
table is probably the sturdiest table of the three, but you do lose a bit of seating room at the corners<br />
