Why foldable tables are perfect for modern homes
Modern homes require furniture that works harder and smarter. This is why we develop foldable tables to afford flexibility, comfort, and style. As homes are increasingly used as offices, dining, entertainment, and sometimes for everything all at once, our folding tables make it easy to transition between activities with ease.
At IKEA, we think foremost about how design can save space and improve the flow in your home. Foldable tables work for small apartments, rented homes, and open-plan layouts where flexibility is important. They help you change a corner into a dining area, a balcony into a café-like setting, or a living room into a study area in an instant.
We also ensure that our tables are lightweight yet strong, so you can move them with ease. Many of our designs also integrate hidden storage, drop leaves, or adjustable legs. Whether hosting friends for dinner, working from home, or needing an extra surface for hobbies, a foldable table gives you the freedom to adapt your home to your day.
Best foldable tables for dining, studying, and small spaces
We understand that no two homes, or routines, are the same. That’s why we design foldable tables for different needs, occasions, and room sizes. If you’re looking for compact dining solutions, our drop-leaf tables are perfect. They seat two comfortably daily and expand when you have guests. Some versions even have built-in storage so you can neatly tuck away cutlery, napkins, or placemats.

Benefits of IKEA foldable tables: compact, durable & versatile
Our foldable tables are designed with the philosophy that every home deserves smart flexibility. Compactness is at the heart of our designs. Most of our models fold flat or narrow enough to slide under beds, lean against walls, or fit neatly into storage spaces. This makes them perfect for homes where space needs to adapt throughout the day.
Durability is another IKEA promise. We rigorously test our tables for stability, strength, and long-term use. Whether you're folding them several times a day or using them as your primary dining or work surface, our quality standards ensure they remain reliable year after year. Many of our foldable tables are crafted using sustainable materials like bamboo, responsibly sourced wood, particleboard, and steel, so not only are they long-lasting, but they also help minimise environmental impact.
Versatility is what makes IKEA foldable tables stand out. You can use them as dining tables, side tables, study desks, craft stations, outdoor tables, or even temporary kitchen counters. We design them to blend into different rooms, aesthetics, and lifestyles. Some include storage shelves, drawers, or hooks for added convenience.
At IKEA, we always craft products that help you “create more with less.” A foldable table gives you just that: a single piece of furniture capable of supporting multiple daily activities while keeping your home organised and spacious.
Care & maintenance tips for your foldable table
Maintaining your foldable table from IKEA is very easy and does not use any special products. Here are a few care tips to help it look great and work well:
1. Clean regularly
Wipe off the surface with a damp cloth and mild detergent. Avoid using harsh cleaners that can ruin finishes or other materials.
2. Avoid loose hardware
Hinges, screws, or brackets support folding tables. These should be checked periodically and tightened if necessary to ensure stability.
3. Protect the surface
Use placemats, coasters, or a protective pad if you're frequently working with laptops, hot dishes, or crafting materials.
4. Store properly
If you often fold your table and store it away, ensure that it is dry and kept upright in a secure place to prevent warping, scratches, or pressure marks.
5. Use indoors unless specified
Some tables are available to use outdoors, but most are designed for use indoors. Always check the product details to ensure you are using them correctly.
We design all our foldable tables to be easy to maintain so you can enjoy them for years with minimal effort.
