Boston Bench


The "Boston Bench" was designed to provide an adjustable-capacity dining table when dining is a primary focus and accomodate 6-8 people comfortably through use of the collapsing end-tables.


Since many people in smaller or outdoor spaces don't have a constant use for a large table, the table easily folds into a bench with seating for three. The end tables can remain upright or collapse down to save space.
