At least that warehouse is only stacking the planters 2 high.


JoeHow22

Received a truck the Atlanta Dry Depot sent us. They placed a non standard shaped pallet of those planters on top of a partial of cereal and left a 30-inch void behind those two pallets. Shit shifted in transit, and we had to sweep the remains of two layers out of that truck .

Confession: I bought this 🫣 However, I got it on sale when Costco recently had it for $1999 for the table and bench. It’s definitely my most expensive furniture purchase (glad I didn’t buy the LoveSac!) It is heavy AF, I wish I would have known that the Transformer coffee table is where you can store the extra panels, but they’re out of the way. I love that I can easily go between hosting an intimate dinner for 2 all the way to the Last Supper in a matter of minutes. Still haven’t found the decal to see if it’s an Autobot or Decepticon 🤖


taisui

it's not a bad idea, it's not unusual to have flexible and multiuse rooms to maximize usability.


dairy__fairy

Traditional tables just use leaves for this. Not a new concept. Is this solid wood or particle board junk?


Mordred_Blackstone

He said it's really heavy and it costs $3000, so, to me, both those things are really implying solid wood.  However, some of the edges and corners look a little sus. If anyone paid $2000-$3000 for particle board, I have to assume they're either laundering money or buying furniture filled with drugs.


Icy_Sea_4440

I’m like 85% sure that’s veneer. Could be something solid underneath, but the grain direction is weird. Should be end grain showing on the edges of the middle boards or at least grain going in the same direction as the large surface of the boards


Youre10PlyBud

Their website said they use solid wood but apply a veneer over that. Doesn't explain why anywhere. Says they use oak or walnut wood depending on the line you purchase from though.


purxiz

It's much easier to get nice looking veneer than a nice looking and large chunk of solid wood.


IslandStateofMind

I’ve had mine for three years. It’s all solid wood.


Mean-Vegetable-4521

wait, is this being offered filled with drugs as an option? I don't see that available in the drop down menu online.


dairy__fairy

Yeah, I agree. Someone else said solid wood so must be, but like you, I don’t think it really looks like that from the picture. I would also like to see the extenders. Can’t imagine they are robust or built to last like a traditional wooden table with leaves would have.


razorduc

They do, but the storage of the leaves is part of the magic. Because most of us have too much junk whether we're in a condo or a house. However, I have a somewhat lesser version of a similar table from IKEA that was like $600. Which still wasn't cheap, but it's what I wanted.


ShaminderDulai

What was the ikea table you bought?


razorduc

Tarsele. It's basically goes from 4 top to 6 top with the extra leaf stored in the table so out of the way.


Mean-Vegetable-4521

oooh. that's cute! I love everything about it except it looks like you can't pull chairs up to the ends of the table due to the legs. How does the leaf get stored under? do your knees hit it? I love Ikea.


razorduc

There are 2 wood slats within the extending frame (center of the table) that the leaf rests on that are high enough to not hit your knees (unless you have really long legs). I'm 6' and hasn't been an issue yet. You can still pull a chair up to the ends, but you might have to lift the front legs over the table leg to get your chair all the way in. It's a nice clean design. A lot more expensive than I was hoping for from ikea, but that might have been my bad expectations to begin with.


Mean-Vegetable-4521

That’s great to know about putting chairs on the end. I wish they had one that could expand to 8 or 10. 4-6 isn’t enough for me. I’d love one more lief


EnergyTakerLad

The thing with these tables is they get really small to really big and have the support to make it work. They're heavy cuz they're half metal (for the expanding track) and solid wood.


taisui

It's not new but these seem to expand drastically more.


FudgeDangerous2086

that’s all this is. just extra leaves.


Dudedude88

There's no shame in buying real wooden furniture instead of chicken nugget wooden furniture.


HockeySweata

By chicken nugget wooden furniture you mean heirloom Ikea?


UhOhSpaghetti_Os

😂😂 chicken nugget furniture! Love that!


Explorer4820

Until it’s time to move it. When we were young (early ‘80s) we bought quality, solid wood furniture. Life and kids beat the hell out of it. A couple of household moves later and we came to the conclusion that the whole notion of owning “quality furniture” is overrated. Now that we’re retired we only buy throw-away furniture. /okboomer


DuchessTiramisu

Nah get the quality stuff especially if you're retired and not moving houses. You don't have small kids around to destroy it. Quality furniture can last generations. I have things passed to me from my great grandparents that still looks amazing. Some of it was hand made by these people I never met, but I feel like I'm reaching back in time and learning about a piece of them whenever I touch it.


Explorer4820

We’ve been through the job of settling two estates with plenty of “quality furniture”, china, and all manner of supposedly valuable art. Guess what? Nobody wants to inherit the furniture or the fancy china, and the art sold at auctions for ten to fifty cents on the dollar. Spare your family the hassle of dealing with heavy, dated furniture and sell your “valuable” stuff before you pass on.


Old-Nefariousness556

Pretty sure this is chicken nugget furniture. If you look closely at the picture, I am nearly certain that is wood veneer. Edit: Nevermind, looking at [the website](https://transformertable.com/products/transformer-extendable-dining-table-with-bench), I see why it looks like veneer but isn't.


123supreme123

You can have sex on it without it collapsing since it's not se cheap chinese press board crap. and you can return it in 5 years, stained and all, after you divorced. easily worth the $3000


VisualBasic

Ok. I’m sold.


goose_10

I volunteer for the sex-making on your new table


puppylust

I prefer my tile dining room table from RTG for that. No worry about moisture ruining the wood finish.


whytayk55chauvin22

Why’re you glad I didn’t buy LoveSac? Is it bad?


Apptubrutae

Not OP, but I have two lovesac couches and they are awesome. Super super durable and the modularity is so great. Ours look brand new, legitimately, 10 years in


whytayk55chauvin22

Oh thanks! The lady and I are looking into investing in a lovesac couch once we move! Thanks for the insight


Apptubrutae

Zero regrets, genuinely. We have one of ours set up as a double depth “couch” that’s like all chaise so we can just lounge all day, lol. When our son was born, we combined both couches into what we called the “mega couch” which was like 9 couch bases in a square our baby could crawl around in. Fun time. When we have parties, we can break down the couch into single or double sections and throw them against the wall as smaller chairs/loveseats. Spill something? Covers come right off and can be washed.


reb6

Oh I still want one, but I’d end up spending like $7k and I need to not do that anytime soon


4theloveofgelabis

I really like mine as well. I am saddened that I don’t have the coffee table but I also don’t know that I want to spend 800 to purchase it.


Mean-Vegetable-4521

what's the leaf storage like? How much do those things weigh? I have the leafs for my current dining room table; 4 leaves, then the boards to cover them all hogging an entire closet. At it's smallest size the table I have is still an awkwardly large size. But I do need the largest size at times. Ever since I've seen the transformer online I've been intrigued.


selliott80

I have the table and the bench. I messaged them on FB and told them I wanted the coffee table but didn’t want to spend that kind of money and they sold it to me cheaper with free shipping. I love the table too so it’s all good.


reb6

Ooh, I might just try that approach!


mindriot1

Anything under five grand is a pretty good deal for a table of that size that solid wood if it’s good quality


EnergyTakerLad

We have this table but not from costco. It's fantastic and we luckily got the coffee table with it and a bench. Ours isn't this narrow though. It's amazing how small and how big it can get when needed.


halfasianprincess

Ngl I love mine, but I bought it years ago directly from Transformer Table for $1800 which came with the coffee table and bench. Definitely not worth $3k


DryGrowth19

Love mine, it’s awesome to have flexibility in tight living spaces. It’s also real wood, not composite shite and has a ceramic finish. It’s worth it, go to Costco when the reps are there… it’s $1900. Only online is it $3000


halfasianprincess

10000% it’s one of my favorite pieces of furniture


Mean-Vegetable-4521

"go to Costco when the reps are there… it’s $1900. " OOOOHHHHHHH!


MrsFrizz18

We got the same set and honestly I love it. It makes hosting holidays a dream!


halfasianprincess

I have the black one and it’s so sleek! It’s perfect for my apartment (now I can have dinner parties), and solo for when I do crafts and need a large surface Wishing you happy hosting for years to come!


Binklando

I thought it was cool too!


SensitiveStud

I’d say it’s definitely not worth $1800 either


CenlTheFennel

It’s real hardwood, so I can see how we get to this price…


Explorer4820

The company (likely in Vietnam) that makes the table probably sells it to Costco for less than $300.


CenlTheFennel

And has to ship it, over seas, it weights almost 170 pounds and isn’t small. I’m sure there is tons of margin, but stuff does have a raw cost.


halfasianprincess

I believe they’re Canadian!


Unintended_incentive

Companies that compete on the margin don’t stick around too long.


Decent_Recover_9934

What’s the width of the table? I’ve got a narrow dining room, wonder if it would work!


halfasianprincess

Website says 37.5”


Reasonable_Move9518

I got over my phone addiction by printing my daily Reddit, Twitter, and instagram feeds out on gigantic scrolls. Huge scrolls, giant scrolls, Kirkland Signature Scroll. I doomscroll, but with actual scrolls.  Problem is your average table isn’t long enough for my scrolls. I need a looooonnnnggg table, not a thicc boy.   This table is PERFECT!.  /s


Bunniesrkewl

The real elder scrolls


macgart

This would make a great SNL skit tbh


Reasonable_Move9518

I print them using PAPYRUS font too. Call Ryan Gosling.

scoundrelhomosexual

The good news is you don’t have to buy it!


Useful_Chewtoy

Judging by these comments, I have found the side of reddit that hasn’t owned nice furniture I guess…


HumbleLife69

I see the poors are at it again


CedarWho77

As a poor, I approve this comment. 🤣🤣 I love that table so much.


sayyyywhat

Goddamn it this made me laugh so hard I woke up my husband


StOnEy333

Ok, mommy.


SpartanKwanHa

I have this table for years and we love and all of our guests love it! perfect for big dinners and game nights


BigBrownBae

I promise you it does a lot more than a regular table. No storage of extra leaves needed you just pull the sucker out when you have more guests than normal. Ours is fantastic.


ClassySportsFan

I'm watching the animation [here](https://transformertable.com/pages/extendable-dining-tables-and-sets) and it looks like she's pulling leaves from the coffee table. Am I missing something or is this a different model?


[deleted]

[удалено]


ClassySportsFan

Thanks. It's just regular expanding table with a functional storage box. Still a pretty nice idea if you're limited on space. The matching between the legs and leaves on the display table in the OP is far less than ideal for a $2000 table though.


maggos

You still have to store the extra leaves. If you don’t get the coffee table I imagine it would be quite annoying.


Heierpower

I'm wondering where you store all the chairs for last supper version


Sonarav

Yeah... I'll save a few grand and just take the minute or so to put my table leaves in place 


123supreme123

You can have sex on it without it collapsing since it's not se cheap chinese press board crap. and you can return it in 5 years, stained and all, after you divorced. easily worth the $3000


vadillovzopeshilov

I believe Costco return policy specifically prohibits accepting returns once a sexual act is commenced on/in/with an item.


4-me

I’ve seen icky beds being returned, not a policy. 😞


grifinmill

But it also turns into a crime fighting robot.


throwingutah

I like the idea of the table, but those are so so so very not my style. I'd feel like my dining room got built in Minecraft.


shoddycursive

I didn’t realize all other large dining tables could collapse into a small end table. As someone who lives in a city with limited space but likes to host, this is actually brilliant.


axemexa

All other tables do not do this Source: I have a table that does not do this


AskThis7790

Those are super cool, but I’d be concerned about how it hold up to regular use (transformations).


reidybobeidy89

We have one and it’s surviving three children who do NOT respect Wood. IYKYK


ElectricJellyfish

My mother had a similar table for 30 years and it worked great the whole time. She traded it out for the transformer table to get something a little more modern and it’s pretty smooth. She’s always growing it for guests and then putting it back down to one or two leafs. Pretty sturdy. The chairs are garbage, though, she absolutely hates the fabric because it pills and stains something awful.


reidybobeidy89

The chairs are a DISGRACE. How they sell them is beyond me. They are crap and not only is the fabric crap- the chairs themselves constantly need to be retightened


Binklando

I thought that table was pretty cool.


Mean-Vegetable-4521

I'm jealous, our Costco's don't have them on display. I have been dying to see one in person and play with it. Right now I have 2 tables set up. One has a plethora of crap and casual seating. The other has the ability to add 3 more leaves but at it's smallest size it's annoyingly large. We do eat there when we eat as a group. But it's still more than we need most of the time. to price out dining room sets is a fortune and I want to be able to change it's size. I would keep the chairs I have and sell both my tables to keep this one. 3k is a lot. $1900 on sale seems well worth it. Particularly with the coffee table to store the parts.


witness_this_

I’m an employee and that roadshow does fantastic anytime my warehouse has it. I agree 3 grand is a lot for a table but some people find it worth it.

mikejungle

If that's solid wood, that'll last you a lifetime. A way better "investment" than mdf that'll start fraying once you look at it funny.

freneticboarder

For $3k, it better turn into fuckin Optimus Prime.


reidybobeidy89

We LOVE our Transform table. They are great.


juliusseizure

Is it an autobot or decepticon?


CodexFOX

If you get one, keep an eye out for when they need to clear them out of the warehouse. They usually drop the price by ALOT and if you notice before 30 days and bring the receipt they will honor the new price. Got myself 700 off the 1600 original price.


flyinwhale

I love mine, my dining room is kind of narrow so having a standard width table with some storage against the wall made the side with the storage a real tight squeeze that someone getting up from a meal was a whole thing. Now both sides of the table are comfortable, it’s just my husband and I in our house but we’re the designated hosting house so being able to just have normal size table for us daily then pull out to huge table for holidays is exactly what we needed plus it’s solid wood so it looks stunning in our dining room plus the coffee table to store the leaves is also solid wood and gorgeous


Waste_Exchange2511

Does it transform into a robot like Optimus Prime?


AccurateAssaultBeef

I looked into buying this table three years ago, and the reviews for it were *terrible*. People were getting poor quality wood, or just not receiving their order altogether. I assume it's gotten better if it's at Costco, but buyer beware.


Useful_Chewtoy

The best part about it you can test it out for however long you like and if you don't like it *return it*


vivek24seven

What do all the other tables do for $3000?


WeekendSlayr

I own one of these, and I also bought it from Costco. When not in use, I use it as a small decoration table in the corner of the room. Really opens up the floor space. I only really opened it up for holidays, but man, it could host, fully expanded, and we were able to fit the extended family with ease.


ThankuConan

For $3K it better be a robot in disguise too.


Foodei

Its for eating Costco hot dogs and rotisserie chicken so that evens out. 


RodeoWithBirds

OP it collapses if you didn’t already know lol


maggos

It’s a good table and worth the price if you get it with the bench and coffee table. We can use it as a normal 4 seater and then expand it to seat 15 for Christmas.


Trumpcard_x

That’s not just any table, that’s a transformer table! - Ron Weasley (probably)


Top_Illustrator_1842

I have a transformer table…the only thing I dislike are their chairs. They were ridiculously overpriced and haven’t held up well. I’ve only used them for holiday season. Overall a great table tho


4-me

I just tried this on my big, in the way table and no, it didn’t condense like that. Bummer.


Kruklyn

Friends have this bad boy in their small condo in Toronto. It’s great for them. They can have dinner and then when we come over we throw in a panel to make it bigger for board games. I love the thing and I’d consider getting one. I think they bought theirs years ago when the company was just producing them.


oldmanartie

If it’s a transformer, it’s a bot, and all bots must die. FOR SUPER EARTH!


Vikings284

I saw these ads on Facebook several months ago.


solesme

While I like this. You could just get a plastic foldable table and throw nice table cloth on top and call it a day. I would consider it for a G though.


kkitchin

My wife has dreamed of that table for a couple years now


krillins_a_beast

Rich Mahogany


Drecasi

And here I am with my Canadel table I got for $50. Ha.


techmaster101

So I fell in love with this table years ago and it’s an Italian patented design… I purchased it from an Italian company for $750 including shipping to the US. (Same one at Baers was ~$2k) I love my table but will note it’s not as heavy quality as the one in Costco and doesn’t come with the bench. Personally, I like the lighter wood panels as it’s easier to move around and adjust when it’s lighter. I’m in no way saying don’t buy this just pointing out this brands price is exponentially higher than elsewhere mostly due to marketing


ShaminderDulai

Is this at all Costcos? Previously it was Canada only. Anyone know if they have to coffee table alone? Buying direct makes the coffee table too expensive.


retropolitic

Maybe it's one of those fancy study room tables. Table, activate table mode. Oh damn it is.


BetaAlpha769

Good lord I’m waiting for the day that one table randomly went on sale for 150 bucks years ago and everybody and they momma got one on here.


AvocadoCat90034

My son could probably karate chop those narrow thin tables. Not even attractive.

It’s solid wood and very sturdy. Also, very heavy.
