Dining for 2 or 20: Room for All
 Planning on hosting a lot of dinner parties? An expandable table will be your best friend. But before you jump in and purchase that 10 foot long table, keep these thoughts in mind: Measurement Matters: Always measure your dining room before buying furniture, particularly to avoid a tight fit when every chair is occupied by a dinner guest. Turn a New Leaf: When it comes to table leaves, try to keep them in the table as much as possible. A stored leaf may not age in parallel with its table, and is more prone to warp out of shape. Now that you’re sure you have room for 20, consider seating your guests around the beautiful Trump Home Bryant Park dining table.
