This is a very random question but I'm curious about something.
My parents just had their rectangular cherry dining table refinished. When it was returned, the guy told my mom not to keep the leaf in unless needed. He said that the leaf would put more stress on the rest of the table and the legs. I had never heard of that before. It made me think of our own square rubberwood dining table. We have a split leaf (if that makes sense). I had purposely set it up with the leaf in because it helps fill out the room, I like the shape with the leaf in, and I thought having the leaf in would make the table "wear" more evenly. Apparently that's a myth. That's what my mom thought too before she was corrected by the guy who refinished her table.
What do you do?
