I have a Sheraton style single pedestal (urn and 4 reed legs that curved outward to brass feet w/castors) dining table with similar expanding gears by Baker Furniture. My mother bought it new in 1984 to use in her new retirement community condo. I am using it now in our dining room. When the expansion gears are fully opened/extended, a narrow leg at each end folds down giving additional support to the table. Closed up the table sits 4 comfortable and when expanded sits 8 comfortable. With the gear operation, I can expand (pull it apart) easily by myself.
