If you have ever been surprised by additional guests at a dinner party, it usually isn't the amount of food that's the problem. If you're like me, you usually make extra anyway or most people are sensitive enough to reduce their portion size to accommodate everyone except maybe your brother-in-law.

The real problem is space. The table is too small!

Problem solved. Look at the videos of these functionalistic tables from dbfletcher. Cool isn't the word! Link here.
