This unusual piece of furniture impresses with its unusual design, which both the owners of larger and smaller apartments will love. So you can create a cozy and beautiful room in which everyone can find space without taking up too much space in everyday life. Family celebrations in your own four walls have their very own atmosphere, and our Fuerro table in the fully extended version will certainly make it easier for you to organize. In everyday life, however, the unfolded version serves as a place for homework, for collecting work or as a dressing table for morning make-up. The spacious tabletop is made of laminated plate, which is supported by six legs, which makes it extremely stable. The biggest advantage of this model is the possibility to adjust the length of the tabletop - unnecessary inserts can be stored in a special place inside the table.

I’m very pleased with this, I took my time to put together as I was on my own it didn’t take too long once I sorted the pieces out, its really well made only downside when it’s a console there are no clips to keep it togeather so a bit awkward to move, but really looks great.
