Private dining unfolds into a sturdy dining table and seating made of oak and can be personalized with wallpaper as seen here, then put away on its hinges when not in use.

i love this actually. i would personalize it more, maybe stain the table darker, but i love the idea.
i live in a small condo and, though i have a dining area set aside, i rarely use it. would be nice to be able to stow it away and save the floor space.

Great idea---I would like to see the table and chairs done in a more interesting style.

Loves it. It seems easy enough to switch the furniture stain, door style, and wallpaper.

Brilliant! (The doors are horrid, though.)

Oooh! You could also have a fold-down panel on one of the doors to use as a small desk when it's not a DR.

I'm gonna go build me one RIGHT NOW!! (After I finish the kitchen remodel. Boo.)

Add this to a murphy bed, an armoir, and one of those stow-away kitchens and you could have an apartment of all doors!
