This slab dining table can go from 74.8″ to 94.5,” so at full length it seats up to 10 people comfortably (11, if you need to squeeze your friend’s new boyfriend in).

The Span White Gateleg Table can shrink from 65 1/2 inches wide to a trim 9 1/2 inches when not being used as a dining table, making it a good size for a console, too ($299, crateandbarrel.com).
