We still use my Grandmother's formica kitchen table in the kitchen. It has the leaf that folds down under the table. They are vintage 50's. If in good shape worth a pretty penny too. Mine only has one small chip. I also have the chairs.
My Grandmother would take the pads off the dining room table & lay them on the kitchen table to cut fabrics. I open the table to full length to pin quilts on.
