I am looking for a source for an expandable dining room table. It looks like a solid buffet with handles on the front that looks like a drawer. It has double doors below. When the handles are pulled, the table and two legs come out. When you continue to pull, "stringers" continue to come out that support several leaves (which I think are stored behind the doors in the cabinet below). The table can be expanded to seat 12. The friend who bought one over 30 years ago found that it was made by Saginaw Furniture Shops, a division of Warwick Electronics, Inc. in Chicago.

My husband and I just purchased a table that looks like a buffet that expands with 6 leaves in the buffet part. We have no idea how to attach the support legs that came with it. They look to be metal and telescope. Any pictures and instruction would be helpful

EMail SchaumburgTeacher@gmail.com for a link to a ton of pictures of an expand-o-matic, all original, completely complete (down to every last leaf, peg, & knob) buffet that converts to up to a 9ft dining table. This piece is gorgeous, I just don't have a use for it & know there is someone out there who would use & appreciate it.
I can't post a link on the forums, so please email me for pics & complete details.
I'm in a NW suburb of Chicago.
Thanks!

Hi- I have a saginaw blonde wood "waterfall" buffet table - circa 1960s. (the wood had either 1961 or 1967 stamped into it- **in photo), with 2drawers and two doors in which the table pulls out.
It is in good condition. There a few chipped pieces of wood at the bottom, appears to be from dragging/moving it, some normal wear noted to the wood drawers, but it does expand out. My mother found this antiquing near chicago and is now in my house near houston texas. I have twin toddlers and am single, do not need these type of antiques around, just looking to give it a good home. someone who will appreciate it for the amazing item which it is!!!!!
No chairs, email me for pictures. if you are able to have it shipped or picked up, it is yours for only $400
please email me if interested, i can email photos to you - skydive108@yahoo.com

Loved finding this site! I have something similar that I grew up with in the 1950's and am down sizing so would appreciate help with value or offers! I am just outside Tulsa, OK. It appears to be cherry wood and finish although finish is showing some wear in areas. It is a telescoping buffet table 62"W x 20.5D x 30.75T. Table width is 40" with one 12" built in leaf and 5 addt'l 12" leafs. The middle false drawer that pulls out to extend the table is flanked on either side by 10.5" drawers. The middle shelf has a 32" real drawer flanked on either side by 10.5" drawers and then the bottom shelf. Have not been able to locate any manufacturer but my Mom bought all of the household furniture at Hanna's of Brookside in Tulsa which was 'the' place go back in the day. Any thoughts? Appreciate it!

Dark wood originally, but my Mom "antiqued" the cabinet in the 70's. Table leaves are original. With some elbow grease this table can restored to its original beautiful condition. Table has been stored in my garage for 20 years and it needs a good home. Don't want to garage sale it if there is someone who is looking for this kind of table. Live near Seattle.

I have a Watertown Slide buffet made by Saginaw Furniture Company. It has two doors on the front with 6 hinged leaves inside behind one door and a green felt-lined silverware drawer and open storage behind the other. It has an extra support leg and two other wood pieces for support as well. It is blond colored; I'm not sure when it was made but believe it was sometime in the mid-1950's. It is very heavy, in great shape (other than a few water-rings)on the top. I also have the chairs. I've stored this thing for 30 years and have never brought it out to use it! Am contemplating painting it black and giving it to one of my kids, but don't want to ruin an "antique" if this is someone elses "treasure".

This table was manufactured by Warwick Electronics located in Forest City Arkansas. The slide mechanism was manufactured in Saginaw, Michigan. Warwick Electronics was a major supplier to Sears, manufacturing television sets, stereo units and the Expandaway Table. The company I worked for was the supplier of the leaves, tops and ends. Sears sold thousands of these tables during the 60's and early 70's. Maurey Laurie and his brother were the designers of this table and were responsible for its success. I worked with Maury until Sears was forced to close the Warwick Electronics facility because of imported product offering a greater value. This was a great American product. If you own one, keep it, it's a part of our history.

I have the expandomatic table with 5 leaves that fit in one half of the tale and the other side has a cutlery drawer and a bottom compartment with a shelf for table linens. We even have a center leg for support. Expands to 111". Color is ash/honey oak with bronze pulls. pics available upon request. melissa_sinclair2003@yahoo.com
I LOVE this table and it is sooooo ingenious, but we just never use it. I bought it because I didn't have a dining table that could expand, but we are thinking of selling that set and getting a bigger one (as our family has expanded). I will be sooooo sad to see it go... Asking $1000 for it. I live in the DC metro area (NoVa). Mint condition with one TINY piece of veneer chipped at the bottom. EXTREMELY heavy - I will not ship it.

I too am needing to find this wonderful little table-cabinet. I'll need to find the cabinet with doors style, not the desk model. If they made one with natural wood on the top and doors that is indeed the one I would treasure the most. My location is near Seattle-Everett, but that doesn't matter if we can ship it. Thanks! 360 hyphen 668 hyphen 4464 is the telephone and HBDA at com cast dot net is the email (nix to spammers!!)THANKS

Hi,
We are looking to purchase 2 Saginaw Expan-o-matic tables/buffets with either the roll out table feature or the table that has removeable leaves with storage in piece for leaves. We live in Los Angeles, CA and are looking for the first one in Southern California. The second one is for a relative that lives in Philadelphia, PA...we know that some models have additional storage for silverware and linens and some also come with chairs. We are looking to seat between 6-10 people, longer is Ok...we would prefer an antique cherry or walnut finish, but we are flexible about the various finishes...what is important to us is that this piece of furniture is in good to excellent shape, does Not need to be refinished or need a major redo...we would like the buffet/table unit to be reasonably clean and are interested in communicating with folks on both the west and east coasts to find the 2 tables needed. We would like to see pictures or come see it in person, if that is possible. We hope to find what our family needs for a fair price. It seems these pieces can be in families for generations. We both have great respect for that. We have furniture from both of our families as well, for a number of generations. Your table/buffet will be well cared for and used for our family. We hope to hear from someone with a table soon!

I have a Table/Desk that on the inside says Extensole Corporation Sparta, MI.(the tag is original and metal)When it folds into a desk the front looks like it may be a drawer but it is not. When it folds out into a table it has 3 leafs and would easily seat at least 6 people. On the inside of the table/desk it is stamped 1902. I assume this is when it was built. Very delicate and old. Good condition, never had any work done on it, very original. It is Cherry wood I think. The US Pat # is 2420703, The last two numbers might be correct, it is very hard to read. It also says 8429-3 on it. I need some info on this piece of furniture? This is a show case when someone walks in the house. I have put it away but would like to sell it. What is this worth?

Hi, I just today aquired what I believe is one of the saginaw expandable tables but I am having trouble identifying which model. It is a buffet which gives the appearance of three drawers. The top drawer is a flip up false front that holds 4 table leafs, the middle drawer is a table pullout and the bottom drawer is a silverware drawer with a felt lining. Beneath all is a linenr cupboard with two doors.
The piece was painted twice so I am in the process of stripping the paint. Beneath is a wonderful mohogany.
My question is, does anyone have pics of the different models which they can send me to help me understand if I have an "expand-a-way", "extend-a-way" or perhaps another form. There are no tags visible on the piece that I can yet see so I am not even sure which it is. If you have pics, you can email them to kelsey69 at msn dot com. thanks in advance!

My parents are moving to Denver and I am looking for something similar to these expanding tables. I have seen "all-in-one" offices, where the desk surface drops down and there is additional storage in the armoire-type cabinet. Does anyone know what a dining table inside a buffet might be called? I'm striking out on the internet. Or is anyone selling their Saginaw in the Denver area?

Wow. We JUST bought one of these! We paid $225! It has four leaves and no chairs. There is no drawer (as some of the ones above are described) -- but it is PERFECT for our very small living area.
Now we need to buy some nice, wood folding chairs that will go with it.
We found it at a local furniture shop that sells many new pieces and some antiques. We told them that we needed a drop-leaf table or something that would not take up much room and the guy said, "I have something to show you. It's probably not what you want, but you should see it." We were sold immediately!
Happy Hunting everyone!

We have a blonde oak Saginaw Expand-o-way table with all metal labels, leaves and felt-bottomed, folding table pads. Interior center drawer is felt-lined. Brass hardware pulls. Very compact and well-made unit. Table extension pulls out very smoothly.
Some wear to exterior finish on sides of cabinet, but otherwise good and the leaves are pristine and very heavy. Has 4 original chairs with grid-pattern back and original nubby turquoise upholstery.
A relative in the furniture business in Chicago sent this to our family in Seattle in the 1950's. We only used the table during holiday meals when seating extended family.
For sale in Seattle.

The Expand-o-matic and the Expand-o-way were two different designs of a similar concept. The Expand-o-matic had a drum like mechanism that unrolled as you pulled it out revealing the table top. The Expand-o-way was completeley wooden and pulled straight out leaving an open area where leaves could be inserted. I am not sure when Saginaw Furniture Shops produced these pieces but I believe it was in the 50's. The plant closed down in the early 60's. My father worked there many years.

I have an Expand-o-matic* desk that I would like some more information about. I have been reading many of the postings and notice people writing about "leaves"; my desk has none but completely rolls out to seat 8 people. One can see the Bakelite Vinyl roll when looking under the top. Is this unusual?
Any information about when it was manufactured would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks!
From Tracy,

Saginaw Furniture Shop is the manufacturer, the name of this piece is possibly an Expandaway, it is not the Expand-O-Matic though.
I will give a brief description.
It is mohagany wood (all pieces).
The desk measurements are: Length 40" Width 21" Height 30" it has 3 drawers on the left side. Each drawer has 1 handle and measures L. 18 1/2" W. 10 1/2" and 5 1/2" depth. One drawer is divided into 3 sections with green felt. (I use it for a sewing station.)
There is a section on top of the 3 drawers that looks like a 4th drawer with 2 handles but it is not a drawer. When you pull on the two handles fully extending the front section, the desk becomes a full size dinning table or buffet. When it is completely extended 4 leaf sections are attached, each leaf measuring 40" in length and 15" in width.
On the inside of one of the drawers is a little metal tag that reads "Saginaw Furniture Shops Inc. Americas Outstanding Producer of Fine Furniture, Saginaw Michigan" Im thinking 1940s or 50s.
This desk was passed down from my grandparents (original owner) to my mom then me. It was antiqued finished the whole time I can remember till I stripped it to its beautiful mohagany color again. It is in need of a professional to completed the job however. It does have some surface scratches from lousy movers that help me store it. I have the 4 leaves and I noticed one is also scratched.
This is a desired piece but everyone that is familiar with it seem to reside on the east coast. And I am in Riverside County (Corona). I have seen prices from this collection of Saginaw expanding furniture going for $1500 to $2500.

I LOVE this table and it is sooooo ingenious, but we just never use it.

Asking $1000 for it. I live in the DC metro area (NoVa). Mint condition with one TINY piece of veneer chipped at the bottom. EXTREMELY heavy - I will not ship it.

These shelves were open without a back. The pull out table was centered between two small, felt lined drawers. There were two matching drawers below those under the middle shelf.

I have a Saginaw Expanding Table with 4 leaves and 6 chairs that was used yesterday (Thanksgiving) for the first time in 30 years. My dilemma is that I don't remember how to get all the parts back in the base. I have put all the chairs in and then couldn't get all the leaves in. I've alternated chairs. No luck. Does anyone have a photo of the table with the doors open and all the parts inside? Thanks

I have a Saginaw Furniture expand-o-matic table/buffet cabinet. 111" long. We are currently refinishing it.
The original top and 6 (15")hinged leaves are a walnut formica material. Has anyone heard of the formica on top and the leaves?
No chairs. The balance of the table is stained a medium brown. I cannot identify the wood. Watertown is the maker of the wood expansion part, it is printed on the wood.
We need a support leg for when the table is fully extended.
Thanks for any help

Clean lines etc, anyone else have a table sim? It could possibly be a knock-off, no Saginaw Furniture labels that I can see. The table is always a show-stopper. If anyone has one sim they would sell, I'm sure I could find a taker....Cheers, Julie

I am in Michigan, we have one of these Watertown Slide Out tables made by Saginaw Furniture. This is still in the possession of the ORIGINAL owner.
It is blonde, or light color wood with six leaf inserts. It has two doors, and she had custom pads, to match the size of all of the leaf inserts, made to protect the table as it was used.
There is some minor damage to the bottom of the table from moving it, but other than that it is in great shape.
This table was purchased new by my Grandma. She is still alive and has given me all the details of this piece.
It was purchased in 1955ish. From a Shannahan Furniture Dealer, which was a sales outfit for the Saginaw Furniture Co. The store was located in Detroit.
They have a huge Italian Family and table space was always sparce.
We are looking to sell it now, no longer have the need for it. She lives with us and we already have prepared for the posse before she came to live with us.
We are willing to discuss delivery or shipping.
If you are interested, photos are available as well as any resonable offers are concidered.
Take care...Jen

I have a Saginaw Expand-O-Matic table for sale. It has 4 leaves and opens to 82". Unopened, it looks like a desk with a faux top drawer and 3 drawers on the left, one of which is felt lined. In this site, people are asking from $800 to $2400 for a similar table, which qualifies as an antique, since Saginaw has been out of business since the 1950's. I plan to offer the table on Craigslist Washington DC for $600 as soon as I get the photos. I live in Gaithersburg, MD.

The wood finish is walnut and is in very good condition. We are the orginal owners and used it for holidays only. We purchased it in the 1960's.

As someone above said it could be really pricy to ship. I could pick it up if in that area. My e-mail is kenglok4@bellsouth.net

Does anyone have information on the Saginaw bar? it's 4' wide 2' deep and when the doors are opened the top folds open and slides to a 8' surface. It's mounted on casters and has been in the family since I can remember (i'm 45 now). I got it from my Dad and wouldn't sell it, but I am wondering if it was sold with the glassware and if anyone know who made the glassware.
Thanks

I have a blonde Water Town slide table. 6 leaves store behind the doors, with a middle support and one leg. It has one drawer and shelf under it also. The leaves are 15 inches deep. Unopened the dimensions are 30" ht x 40" wd x 20 1/4" deep. Fully opened it's 110 1/4" long. No chairs. It too has the Watertown info on the slide and a metal tag that reads Saginaw Michigan with a picture of an Indian chief in full headress on it. The wood is light in color and appears to have a blonde 'laminate'? on the outside. It's pretty heavy. I don't know wood very well. The folks I've talked too here in Las Vegas have never heard of it, but one man said he thought it was made of ash since it is so heavy. I bought it from a thrift store many years ago. If anyone is interested in it, or has found out how much it might be worth, please contact me. dmkbkb@cox.net

From Roland,

For all of you who want to know the value of your tables, there are two methods of pricing them. First remember that an item is worth only what someone else is welling to pay for it, or what you are willing to sell it for...and second for insurance value you should only insure it for replacement value. This means that if you have a Queen Ann style table that is made of solid mahogany, that expands to seat 12 and have all the matching chairs also made of mahogany it would cost quite a bit to replace at today’s market prices. So find out the wood that was used, the style and the amount of work that went into producing the product. Mass-market pieces normally don't have a high collectible value, 5 or 6 figures. But they can easily bring in the high 4 figures.
