What is largest leaf opening? I have two 18" leafs on a round single pedestal table
A shopper

Vote for the best answer above!
For a heavy table with two 12" leaves, which would be better, steel or wood? Wood would look better on this vintage table, but performance trumps appearance!
SKIP T
on Nov 26, 2015
BEST ANSWER: I also have a vintage, homemade heavy table with two of the same sized leaves. Quite frankly, I wish I had gone with steel. We only put the leaves in twice a year, so hopefully will be OK. I may need to make a temp. 5th middle leg for when all the leaves are inserted. If you have the money, go for steel. As to appearance, you'll only see it when adding/removing leaves, and then only for a few seconds.

Definitely use the metal table slides. I have done it numerous times and found out that the metal is more superior than the wood slides even for a vintage table. You will never see the slides once the table leaves are in, only when you open and close it to add leaves. I've have used the slides that extend tables - 16 foot long on one pedestal base and they work well and I've purchased them from Rockler.

Well, I dropped my phone . . . what I started to say was that yes, you're right: you'll not see them unless you open up the table. I've not had great luck with the wood slides on old tables, since they invariably are either bound up and don't move freely or they're so loose that they don't feel very secure. I'm hoping the steel ones are better. Do they have ball bearings, like drawer slides, or just steel-on-steel?
I have a 4 ft oak top table with the 36 in wood extension slides on it and one 2 ft leaf. Looks great when opening table and supports the weight of the 2 ft oak leaf just fine. So i would say that wood is the way to go.

Can the Steel slide be used for a table with 4 legs that has NO apron (in other words, it's just the top with 4 legs attached)? will this be very visible from the side? Also, the top is quite heavy - is there weight limit recommended for this hardware? thank you -
irina k
on Jul 14, 2017
BEST ANSWER: I don't believe there is any weight limit on these glides. You can actually move them in a little further from the outside edge of the table which will conceal the visibility problem. But each one should only be a third of with of the table from the edge. The key to these working properly is to make sure they are perfectly parallel to each other. Otherwise when you pull them open they will bind and it will be hard to operate.

If there is no apron, the slides may be visible. You could probably add your own apron under the table to cover the metal slides.
The weight is not your only concern regarding these - it depends on the width of your leaves, too.

Ray K

BEST ANSWER: I got the wood slides. While technically I guess they could be used outdoor, personally I wouldn't since the wood would expand and shrink in the different weathers. I'd get metal if it was me. However, I'm no expert.

i am adding two 12" leafs to my 48" table making it 60" wide or 72" wide...will the 38" metal slides work for my 2 leafs?
hanna
on Oct 9, 2017
BEST ANSWER: You should have no problem. In my installation of the the 36" slides I installed them with 9 " of overlap on each end. This results in plenty of attachment stability when the table is opened to its maximum gap which turns out to be 38". You are looking to insert two 12" leaves for a total of 24". Even if you already have one 12" leaf there would be room for it too. Your biggest challenge will be to come up with matching pads. I manufactured mine but you can obtain them online. Good luck. The extra space at large family dinners is priceless.

BEST ANSWER: The slides, when fully extended, measure 64". The 36" measurement is the closed length. I used them for a table with 3 12.5" leaves. I am very satisfied with them.

64" is the space you will have between the two sides of the table, when the table is pulled open completely - Your leaves cannot measure more than that. For example, if you have 3, 20" wide leaves, this slide will work for you .

Sounds like a misprint in the catalog. The extension slides I bought measure 36" when fully closed. When fully extended they create a space of 38", so I can insert my old 18" leaf plus a new 18" leaf which I made.

Is the 36" extension slide more than adequate for accommodating (2) 14" table leafs ?
Frank A
on Dec 28, 2015
BEST ANSWER: I'm no expert. That being said, I did put them on our table, to replace two that had broken. Our two leaves are 12" each, there is enough room for 14". HOWEVER, if I had to do it over again, I wouldn't buy these slides that are made from wood. I would buy the ones made from metal. We only use our table twice a year in the fully extended position, so it really doesn't make a big difference, but already I can see the table bowing down. Just a thought.

The tabke I have these slides on has an 1.5 inch oak top to it and I have 1, 24 inch leaf and 1, 12 inch leaf and it holds them both just fine. You just need to make sure to secure the slides completely to table so that they don't sag with weight of leafs.

Frank,
I purchased the 36" wood slides with 62" max. opening.
36" is the collapsed length which then extends to 38" or 62", depending on the model ordered, which should be more than adequate for your situation.

I just order the steel extensions. I'm making a table from scratch. When I look at the installation instructions it appears that the table legs will move apart when I'm opening up the extenders (vs a stationary base). Is this correct?

BEST ANSWER: correct. I used these on a 42" square antique table with its 4 legs and one center leg. This table now seats 12 people instead of just four, when opened. It has four legs, and one center leg. When you open it, the center leg can remain in place, and support the middle, as this extends pretty far. Worth the money.

I have a 4-legged dining table that right now opens to accommodate one table leaf. But one leaf is no longer enough. Now with grandchildren I need to increase the size of the table. Can I change out the table slides with longer ones in order for the table to expand to accommodate 2 tables leaves instead of just one? Will the table sag in the center? Thank you for shedding some light on the matter.

You can put different slides on to accommodate more leaves as far as table sag goes allot of factors will come into play. Top thickness, apron width etc good luck

Can I mount the rails to the inside of a kitchen cabinet to produce a retractable working surface?
Sue C
on Jan 27, 2016
BEST ANSWER: As long as you don't overload the new working surface, I don't see why not. HOWEVER, that being said, most people push down / cut / etc down on working surfaces quite hard, and this 3 piece wooden slide would break in my opinion. You might want to go for the more expensive metal ones. Remember though, neither the wooden or the metal ones, were made to withstand much weight / pressure.

It might. However, consider this. At what point do you go "overboard", creating this retractable working surface, instead of buying a simple table. We wanted another, occasional working surface in out kitchen, we opted for a 3' x 3' simple folding table. Top is 100% rosin / plastic, so real easy to clean. Fold up the 4 legs, real easy to store. Holds a LOT of weight, so not concerned about using it to cook, can, etc.

I believe you could, but unlike a table where both sides of the extension are attached to the same side. You would have to attach one side if the extension to the slide out working surface, attach the other side of the extension to a cabinet support below it. You may have to drill some hole so you can attach your extension on opposite sides.

would this item work for a drop leaf table?
eduardo wilder
on Jun 30, 2015
BEST ANSWER: The item is meant to extend a table's opening, and only for tables with 4 legs. It's meant to screw into the underside of the table, on both ends of the slide. If you use it to hold up the drop leaf portion, you'd probably want to attach it somehow. It's also meant to have 4 legs, so legs on both ends of the slide, something your drop leaf wouldn't have. I'm not an expert, but it doesn't look like it would work for a drop leaf table.

Where are the figures or diagrams referenced in the technical data and sheets that accompany the metal slides? They reference figures 5, 8, 9 etc, but only one diagram is included (and poor quality at that). I'm pretty sure I know which side is mounted adjacent to the table, but I want to be sure. The only figure included doesn't show enough detail.

will the 36 inch ok to take two 18 inch leafs ?
andre m
on Jan 15, 2016
BEST ANSWER: One thing that I learned was that the length of the slides should be approximately 3/4 of the length of the table when closed without the leaves. This is to provide adequate support for the table when the leaves are installed. the description of item 29496 states that it will open 38 inches thus allowing two18 in leaves to be inserted. However, I would install the longest slides that you can put in the table thus providing the most support. I am sure that you can picture that the farther the slides are open the less the male sliding dovetails are in their corresponding sockets thus less support when the leaves are installed. If your table has a center support leg that is in place with or without the leaves then that obviously changes things. I hope this helps.

BEST ANSWER: Once the 36" slides are installed, the maximum amount of space for leaves is approx. 60". Starting with a 10' closed table makes these slides a bit skimpy for it, they work best for a 65" closed table, give or take a few inches. You need something longer and unfortunately probably much more expensive.

I am restoring a table but on this table the ends of the table pull out and the 12" leaf is inserted between the end of the table and the middle section. My problem is that the ends droop down because of the looseness of the slides. I need 4 table slides that will not droop down with a 12" leaf in the table. If would be best if they are no more than 32" long closed. There needs to be very little play/tolerance so there will be no sag when extended. Are the smaller size made so they will not sag in this situation?

I'm very happy with the extension slides. They replace the original wood ones that broke over Thanksgiving dinner and had the table bowing by the end of the meal. Needed replacements by Christmas dinner! They arrived promptly and were easy to install. Table was ready for Christmas and was easily opened/closed with the new slides.

New slides to fix sag
We were given a maple table that sagged badly when the leaves were in place. We figured out the problem - the wood slides on the table were not a matched set (we had two of the same slides). It's possible a new set of wood slides would have fixed the problem. But, to be safe, we purchased the steel slides and are very pleased. Easy to install and no more sag!

These metal 36" slides were perfect for our 65" - 83" table that has two 18" extensions. Installation went well following online instructions and the table slides and extends better than it ever has even when new! Tip - use a magnet on your screwdriver to hold your mounting screws - you will need it to lower your screws through the rails to get them to the pre-drilled positions.

Extension Slides - Steel, 36" Length
These slides are awesome. I replaced the broken wood slides on our dining room table. I don't think I'll ever have to replace them again.

Heavy duty
I did a 60" round 2 inch thick table with an 18" leaf in the middle. These slides held up no problem. Very good buy.

Table extension mechanism replacement.
We were repairing an " antique" kitchen table - the wood on the extension mechanism was breaking when used.
The Rockler replacement was easy to install - instruction are on - line, not with the mechanism. The height was less than the old one so we had to add a piece to attach the center, 5th, sliding leg. No problem to do that.
Table now opens easily - and my wife wants me to make another leaf or two since it opens wider (and there is the center leg for support).

Excellent replacement for wooden dovetail slides
I used these slides to replace handmade maple dovetail slides on a 2 leaf walnut Queen Anne style table. The table was made in Virginia and we live in Florida. The humidity eventually made the original slides swell and warp so bad that 2 Sumo wrestlers were required to open and close it. I replaced them in an hour and then made a third leaf for the table. Now we can have 6 friends for dinner and be comfortable. The slides are easy to extend and are every bit as stout as the maple slides were.

36" Extension Slides
Worked perfectly. Metal slides are strong with no sag at full extension. Layout, square up and attach. Fabricate new leaves- you're done. Great product.

Table extension slides
We have an old oak dining room table. The wood extensions have dried out become loose and when we extended the table for Thanksgiving it collapsed. These metal extensions are well made, very strong. Even when fully extended with 3, 12 in leaves that are 1 and 1/4 inches thick, there was no sag at all. Definitely worth it. Make sure slides are parallel and square.

Ouality Canadian Maple Table Slides
I looked at several wood table slides and some were finger jointed which is not acceptable for me. These slides are made out of solid Maple and the sticker says Made In Canada. They don't come with screws but I found some pan head screws that worked fine to attach the slides to my table. They slide very easily and I'm sure they'll last the life of the table.

Slides fit and work perfectly
The metal extension slide was easy to install and works smoothly. They replaced wooden slides that cracked after 35 years of use. Directions could be improved to help clarify which slide goes on which side of the table. Slides are very sturdy should last a very long time.

36" table slide for leaves
These slides are exactly what I wanted. They were shipped quickly as I had requested. They were easy to install, and worked well even though they do not have ball bearings. We used these to allow us to use two newly made 18" leaves in an older table that was originally made for leaves, but the leaves and the slides for that table were long gone. I was concerned that a 36" extension would make the table weak or unstable, but not true. With the two 36" leaves in place using these slides, that table did not droop or feel unstable in any way. Nice product.

Glad I decided to replace those old Ikea rails!
I have an old Ikea table for 6 to 10 persons made of pine (I think) with two extensions of 18½ inches. I was a bit worried to order 36" because I thought it might not open large enough but it does. Also, there were much less holes to put screws in so I was not sure if it would be strong enough. It's been over 2 months now and the table hasn't been this straight horizontally for quite a while! Now I only hope it is going to last as long as the original one (over 20 years), but I guess it will!

fantastic
The slides worked perfectly. Once they were installed on our antique table of over one hundred years old they opened and closed easly and flawlessly. The table top sat very straight and flat. Table hadn't looked that good in years. Now we can all sit around it again for Thanksgiving dinner for many more years to come. Thanks for a great product at a great price!!

Rockler dining table extensions
Replaced old worn out wooden existing extensions on my very old dining table with the 36" wood Rockler extensions. It was time consuming, but relatively easy. The directions with the drawings were very clear and detailed. The key is to follow the "right" and "left". It is so nice to be able to use the full table again.

Very sturdy, smooth glding
I was skeptical when I opened the package, because each side attached with only 5 screws, but it seems to be holding. The rails are very sturdy - I used it for a massive farmhouse table with a 3" thick top and it doesn't flex or bend at all. Recommend.

Strong but not quite as strong as I hoped
Pretty solid slides but not quite as solid as I hoped for an expected. I created a 6 foot table frame just to test their strength using 2x4s and at full extension(5+ feet opening) it was kind of weak. It held my full body weight but it had a couple inches of give to it. Even a little bit of pressure in the middle causes it to give an inch or two at full extension which isn't desirable for a table. To be fair it's not really designed for complete full extension; it merely opens that far to allow leaves to slide in and then you should collapse them back in at least a few inches. All that said, at a 4 foot opening, I found it to be very solid...very little give or flex. Let's face it, though, being that solid at 4 feet is still impressive. I am going to end up keeping them. Instead of a 6 foot to 11 foot table, I am adjusting my design to be 7 foot to 11 foot (4 foot expansion). I haven't built it yet but I have hopes that it will be a very solid table even when both 2 foot leaves are in.
