Make them out of wood. Those exposed zinc-plated
drawer slides looked cheap.

Paying for high quality materials is one thing, but that's freakin' nuts

Triple the amount of time and money you estimate it would take you
to build this project.
If you still want to tackle the job, double that estimate and look
again.

I've had one of those set up in the garage for years. It works great as a
catch-all, but if you add a decent border around the edge of the plywood
it'll hold up (straight) for years. If you need "class", throw a table
cloth over it.

I didn't initially look at the price. $9K IS steep!
I have a custom work table (painted white, too) that looks as that table. For 3 weeks, I've been trying to give it away. You can come get it.
I have another custom work table, with 1 drawer, I'll give away, once I clean it off. It's surface is carpeted (higher end than the above table!?).

Not if they are selling and making a profit. If I can make and sell one
for $12,000, it is far better (for me) than making 12 that sell for $1000.

Been there and done that with doors that are not perfectly flat.
FWIW there are Euro hinges that help address that for inset doors. You
can come to a happy medium typically.

I found the drawing if you're interested in looking at it. It is
exactly what you're looking for. Let me know the easiest way to
get it to you. If you can see the binary group I can post it
there if you would like, otherwise the easiest would probably be
to email it.

make a note in the drawing so I know next time.
Thanks for your hard work. A very useful and detailed drawing.
I'm sure an enormous amount of time and effort went into
creating it. It's on my todo list...

Mom's round table was 4 feet across ans stretched to 16 feet.
It looked a lot like this one, except the slides were all wood.
The only metal in the whole thing is a hand full of screws that
secure the legs.
By the way, I love that table, grew up (sorta) playing on it,
But for $9000 it's a real bargin and it's yours if you want it.

Would you consider $3K too much? Materials and hardware are likely to
cost that much.

be cheaper to add a room on to put a real table in, plus you got to keep
chairs somewhere, stuck under a table is an excellent place.

No doubt and it doesn't even come with chairs. Though, it comes with 5 leafs
and a wall mounted holder for them. Wooo hooo!

It doesn't need to be exact. There's always the option of a smaller version
and yes, Thanksgiving would be the only time we seat that many but no kids.

The prices for all their furniture is expensive. The bunk beds for instance
are starting at $12000. The other stuff reaches $20000 plus. It's all made
in Europe and the space saving furniture is from a manufacturer called Grei
or something like that, located in Italy. It's very cool looking stuff and
facinating what they can do but those prices are completely outrageous.

The extension pieces look like ball bearing drawer slides that have been
fastened to each other. It might not be too hard to pull off. The
slides will run about $20/pair.

Annnnnd, here they are:

Overview: The darker cabinet at the far right is a Califonia cooler
that's probably around 70-80 years old. The two other sections
are what I built to match it. I'd hoped for a better color match, but
maybe they'll darken over time. Middle photo shows how the shelf
supports work.

I've put the full design, with Sketchup models and everything

It's featured on the Workshop page at Instructables right

It's also an entry in the furniture design contest.

Thanks. The doors did't come out perfectly flat, unfortunately, so one

I'm thinking of attaching some sort of brace to the doors to
bend them into a better shape over time. It will be interesting
to see how it works out.

Thanks; I'm mostly happy with how it turned out. Read the
instructable for a list of all the things I did wrong.

Quick question: Do you have an entire spare bedroom which could be
used to store all umpteen of the spare table leaves?

That EXTRA long table extension is why the table is expensive. And as
far as it reaches it needs to be made of top quality materials and
specifications or else your table will sag under it's own weight, much
more with something actually setting on it.
You may pay as much for that extension as the whole table.
What price do you consider steep?

Do you really anticipate a need to seat eight people in your "small" dining
area?
On folding chairs?
The only time I can see that happening is at Thanksgiving when you've got a
passel of kids participating in the meal. At that time, a couple of WalMart
folding card tables should sufficiently serve.

I'm sorry, but the cost of finish has gone up so much, we are unable
to offer more than this FORTY FOUR POINT FIVE PERCENT DISCOUNT at this
time. This offer expires 1nov12. Act now!

If it's not patented, I'll make them one for $4,995, -including-
delivery to the lower 48. Save $2,004 + s/h, Meanie!

be cheaper to add a room on to put a real table in, plus you got to keep
chairs somewhere, stuck under a table is an excellent place.
