The warm walnut top extends to approximately 72 inches long by 40 inches wide, supported by a rhythmic arrangement of tapered legs that gives the table a distinctive architectural presence.

Both long side leaves operate independently, allowing the table to be used fully open, with one leaf raised, or folded to a remarkably slim 15-inch depth. In its closed form, it works beautifully as a console or sofa table, making it especially practical for flexible dining rooms, apartments, and spaces that need to shift between entertaining and everyday use.

The underside retains its original Drexel markings, including the K43 model designation and May 1957 production date. A handsome and less commonly encountered Profile design with strong walnut grain, elegant proportions, and genuine utility. Coordinating chairs are sold separately. See less
