Dining Tables and Leaf Extensions. Seems simple enough, but in reality this can the reason why you would not make the purchase. Most dining room tables offer you the option to extend your table to seat more at the table. It is important to know that type of leaves available.

Butterfly leaf - this leaf will fold in the center to allow you to easily remove without having to take table apart. Some butterfly leaves can tuck under the table for easier storage.

Under Leaf – a butterfly leaf that will hide under the table

Leaf – a standard leaf extension where you will need to pull out both sides of the table to allow you to insert or remove the leaf.

Keep in mind manufactures at this time do not offer options on the type of leaf extension. If the type of leaf is important please ask a Sales Rep to provide you with the list of dining tables that feature your leaf preference.

The meaning behind RTA when purchasing home furniture. Having furniture shipped to you is usually shipped RTA. RTA is “Ready To Assemble”. The furniture you expect to have to assemble would be; bunk beds, occasional tables, chairs, bar stools and perhaps Entertainment Units. When it comes to your living room furniture you would not expect to receive your sofa and love seat in a flat box RTA.

That’s right, some sofa and sectional collections are now shipped to you RTA. When you are ready to make your purchase from an online store, make sure you understand or ask if you will need to assemble the sofa. Depending on the brand do be prepared to handle the assembly.

RTA does not mean the furniture is not good quality it simply is easier and less costly to ship to you.

Terms to keep in mind when ordering is KD “Knocked Down Furniture” mostly used on the delivery slip and RTA “Ready to Assemble” mostly identified on the listing.
