drop leaf
Hinged table section
A drop leaf is a hinged section of a table that can be folded down when not needed and raised to extend the surface.
Drop-leaf tables save space in small rooms: We raised the drop leaves when company came for dinner.
The design dates to the 17th century but remains common in apartments and breakfast nooks.
