The Incredible Expanding Table

It's pretty hard for me to get real excited over a table. Sure tables can be designed well and look great, but it's a table. A table is where I set my plate when I eat...it's what I toss a stack of bills on...it's what I put my feet on when I channel surf...et cetera, et cetera. It's a table. But I do have to admit that the Fletcher Capstan Tables are pretty cool. Alright, they're remarkable. These circular tables can expand to twice their original size in four seconds, and remain perfectly round. The table shown in the picture here is in mid-transformation - check out the video on DB Fletcher's site to see the full metamorphosis. If your dinner party grows from 6 to 12 unexpectedly, a Capstan Table will be able to accommodate the sudden change. All you have to do is rotate the table at its outer perimeter, and voila, it doubles in size. DB Fletcher isn't shy about stating the target market for this unique piece of furniture, they say, "it is not for everyone by a very very long way and can only be afforded by the lucky few of us with exceptional wealth." Well, then...I guess it's still an extra card table and folding chairs for me!
