SELF STORE
Here are two examples of oval tables that can or cannot self store.
BOTTOM VIEW OF TABLE:
42"
18"
42" x 60" – 3 LEAVES .
Only 1 leaf fits between the slides, so table can only store 2 leaves . 1 leaf on top of the other, 1 with skirt, 1 without .

60"
42" 10"
42" x 60" – 4 LEAVES .
Tables slide is 50" long and the table is only 60" long and with the oval shape it pushes the slides in so that there is only 10" max between the slides, therefore this table CANNOT store any of the 4 leaves .
The drawings above hold true for 42" x 66" 3 and 4 leaf tables as far as the length of the slides, however a 42" x 66" 3 leaf double pedestal table has enough space between the slide to store 2 leaves side by side and 1 on top, 2 with skirts, 1 without.
When a 4 leaf slide is used on a 42" x 66" 4 leaf table the slides have to be moved in because of the oval shape which then will only allow 18" between the
slides, therefore this table can only store 2 leaves, 1 with skirt, 1 without. The 2 leaves that cannot store will be skirted.
There are more examples that could be shown here, but we hope our efforts to list the basic “rules” of self storing will help our dealers and their customers to understand why some tables self store leaves and others do not.
