The dream? A chic dining room setup that also maximizes square footage. But isn't the term “space-saving” synonymous with “not-so-cute” when it comes to furniture? Heck, no. These fabulous tables fold, expand and otherwise slink their way into even the smallest of spaces, making your dining room dreams a stylish reality.

Lightweight with rounded edges, this versatile bistro table is perfect for tiny kitchens that double as dining rooms.

We love the warm, weathered patina of this dining table’s leaves. (But we really, really love the built-in storage space.)

This crisp, Shaker-style table (which expands from cute and compact to roomy seating for eight) is an investment piece that will never go out of style.
Rejuvenation ($1,424)
Clean and polished, this modern table works equally well as a wall-flush dining setup for two or as a freestanding spot for four.

With its amply-sized fold-down leaves, this industrial-chic number easily morphs from narrow console to a full-size dining table when you need one.

With its euphoria-inducing price tag and three configurations (no leaves, one leaf or two), this country-style beauty is a no-brainer for the square-footage challenged.
