If that’s still a little too big for you then you can opt for a drop dual sided drop leaf table that can fold both sides yet leaves a little space in the middle. These are square and very lovely. A Fold A Way table are also perfect for tight spaces. You can fold down both leaves and depending on how much table space you need you can raise either one or both leaves up.
