Pull-out tables and worktop extensions can be a real lifesaver when space is at a premium, but they can also really help when it’s not. Here are 9 ways pull-out tables can make your life easier and give you a more spacious and calming feel in your home.

1. Small guests for dinner?

If you’re short on space in your kitchen or dining room, a pull-out table can give you the dining area you need, when you need it and the space you need the rest of the time. Our LUNCH Pull Out Table can be teamed with your own dining chairs and comes in 600mm, 900mm and 1200mm widths. The LUNCH Pull Out range comes as standard with a white melamine tabletop, but if you prefer to match it with the rest of your kitchen, you can buy just the LUNCH Pull Out Table frame. This particular range is very versatile with a +39 version designed specifically for narrow cabinets.

For a tidy, complete tuckaway solution, choose our T-Able. Combine this pull-out drawer table with two more in a lower drawer for a bench and table solution that tucks away seamlessly when not in use.

For a table with a more ‘dining-room’ feel, take a look at our PARTY MENSOLA Pull Out Table. This comes as a frame only so you can choose your tabletop, and supports a weight of 100kg, so you don’t have to worry about carving the Turkey at the table.

2. Create a stylish pull-out worktop hidden away for when you need it

It doesn’t matter how big your kitchen is – sometimes there just isn’t enough space.

So, for those worktop-greedy recipes, you can make the most of our OPLA pull-out extension shelf with its stylish stainless steel worktop that tucks neatly in a 600mm, 900mm or 1200mm cupboard.

3. Extend your space for more elaborate cooking creations

For a more seamless continuation of your existing worktop, we have the FUNCTIONAL pull-out table which gives you plenty of space for a single diner or extra space to dish up. This also comes with built-in cutlery storage for optimal benefits.

4. Give yourself space to chop, slice and dice

If it’s more chopping space you’re after, why not try our BLADE pull-out chopping board with built-in knife storage? Capable of taking loads up to 60kg, this should give you plenty of space to chop, slice or dice and a small waste basket so you can easily dispose of your peelings, regardless of how far you are from the kitchen bin. With its clever removable design, it’s easy to keep clean too.

5. Hide away your ironing board

Ironing boards can take up a fair amount of space, and they look untidy. With the PRUA pull-out ironing board, you can hide your ironing board away under the worktop when you’re not using it. Perfect for mobile homes and caravans, small kitchens and even laundry rooms.

6. Save your back when using a stacked tumble dryer

While we’re on the subject of laundry rooms, if you have a tumble dryer that’s stacked, or sits on top of a worktop, a pull-out FUNCTIONAL worktop hidden in a drawer beneath can be the perfect way to avoid back strain bending down and reaching up as you load wet washing, or remove dry clothes. What’s more the drawer can be used to store all sorts of laundry essentials items such as pegs, lint removers, and boot cleaners.

7. Treat your guests to more room for makeup, books or a bedside lamp

If like many of us, you’ve converted your guest room into an office by day, then you probably need all the space you can get. Having said that, it’s nice to be able to give guests a lamp and a unit to unpack toiletries onto. Our SHELFDESK Desktop sits atop a storage cube, perfect for books or plants, or even bags, and the table masquerades as a drawer that can be pulled out for more worktop space.

If space is too tight even for a cabinet, then our JUST Fold Out Table gives us a perfect solution. This put-up table lies flat against the wall when it’s not needed and serves as a perfect solution for a bedside table when you have guests staying over.

8. Find the space to work from home

If you’re in need of a small spot to perch a laptop when you’re working from home, our SHELFDESK Laptop solution is perfect as it literally extends from a small shelf to become a laptop-worthy desk unit that you can pull-out when you need it. At a load rating of 40kg and a width of 770mm, the shelf can easily take your laptop and a coffee.

9. Get outdoors with a perfect space-saving potting table

Or, for a rather fancy potting shed, you can use the SHELFDESK laptop, or the SHELFDESK DESKTOP as a discrete and space-saving potting table.
