Does anyone have any suggestions on how to design or where to find
design ideas for a dining room table that will expand to accomodate 20
people? I am planning about 24 inches per person plus an additional
16 inches at each end. Unfortunately, this extends the table to
something like 250 inches, much too long for a traditional leaf
design.

Looking for ideas...
Thanks in advance.

i've seen a table at a local danish import store where the end 3' of each
end slides under the middle part, leaving about an 8' table when folded up.
perhaps that idea, or having 2 tops one on top of each other and having a
mechanism to slide them apart, and one drops down, would work.
