How do I fold an octagonal table?

Most octagonal tables feature an interlocking wooden frame that collapses once the top is lifted clear of the dowels. You simply lift the tray or tabletop straight up and fold the lattice base inward. Keep the hinges or interlocking wooden joints clean and free of heavy wax to ensure the structure collapses smoothly without binding.

Where should I place these tables?

These pieces suit living rooms as compact coffee tables or hallways as striking focal points for lamps and ornaments. Their intricate patterns demand a position where natural light can catch the carved relief and metal inlay. Avoid placing them in direct sunlight or beside intense heat sources to protect the dry tropical hardwoods and delicate bone inlay from shrinking.

Are these tables sturdy enough for daily use?

Solid hardwood construction ensures these tables handle standard items like books and lamps comfortably. However, the folding bases on octagonal models require careful placement on level flooring to prevent wobbling. Treat them with the same care you would accord any antique furniture, avoiding excessive weight or rough treatment on the hinged joints.
