The Amazing Expandable Table; The Studio, Frenchtown

Though people flock to the suburbs for more square footage, more often than not, homes lack decent workspace. You could torture yourself endlessly, wondering whether to relegate Junior to the den so you can finally have a place to pay the bills.

Or you could buy a dining room table that can do double-duty as a desk, through folding panels. The trestle table (left) by Morgan Hill is available through The Studio in Frenchtown (12 Bridge St.). Made of solid walnut, the table can also be used as a sideboard. And even better, The Studio offers the table (and other pieces) at a nice discount.
