Best Lee Valley Offset-Bar Leaf-Mount Mechanism

Used in combination with table-extension slides, this mechanism lets you build a folding table leaf that stores unobtrusively beneath the table top. When needed, the leaf pivots and unfolds into position once the table halves are separated.

Suitable for closed- or open-frame construction, the offset-bar mechanism supports leaves up to 440mm wide. Kit includes a pivoting bent bar, two side-mounting brackets, and two leaf brackets that connect the leaf to the bar.

Folding leaf hinges let you build two-piece leaves that fold for compact storage.
