This expanding table looks overly complex and insanely expensive. But damn, doesn't its operation fascinate?

How the tables have turned.

It took me a sec to see how both states could be circular -- they cheat for the smaller state.

Nice toy. I wonder if the impressive mechanism would have an application other than tables?

Cute.

But, yeah, they cheat.

I saw a room once that was fully automatic. Tables came out of walls, bed converted rom the floor, etc. It was in a mag years ago.

Fun...

As an engineer and amateur furniture maker, just wow.
