NORDEN and VIHALS gateleg sizes
The IKEA NORDEN is 10.25 in long with both leaves down and 59.88 in with both leaves up. With one leaf up it is 35 in long and 31.5 in wide. That gives 4 seats at 24 in per person, 1 on each side and 1 at each end. The IKEA VIHALS gateleg is 15.38 in closed and 59.5 in extended.
Flip-top tables
The Expand Furniture Flip and Echo do not extend in stages. The top folds in half over itself, so the table doubles in size in one move. The Flip goes from 15.75 in deep against the wall to 31.5 in deep. The Echo goes from a 31 in square to 31 x 62 in.
Gateleg legs and seating
A gateleg table holds each raised leaf on a leg that swings out from the center frame. A person seated on the long side near that leg may have to sit off-center. The photos on the product page show where the swing legs stand.
