I saw a dining table at a restaurnt in Boston that I am trying to
locate. This table is perfect for my needs but I cant seem to find it
in any store.

It is a square table with 4 quarter-circular drop leaves that are
attatched with hinges to the 4 sides of the table. In the folded
position the table is a perfect sqaure and seats 4 people.

When the 4 drop leaves are individually unfolded the table becomes a
perfect circle and seats 6 people.

NOte: the 4 leaves do not hang on the sides like other drop leaves
table, but rather fold under the sides of the square table. This way
they do not come in the way of people sitting at the table when the
table is used in the smaller/folded position.

The table also has central pedestal and is made of rich dark colored wood. 

I found 2 websites that have something what I am looking for. 
The first is similar functionally to what I described, but the table
there is not as elegant looking as what I had in mind (i want better
wood etc)

The second is a custom manufacturer, but they are rather expensive
(see the bottom of page 12):

Can you help me locate a store/manufacturer in North America that
carries such a table and/or can make one for me at an affordable
price. My budget is $1,500 (incl shipping)

Note: I do not want a table where the drop leaves merely hang on the
sides. I want one where they fold under the square part of the table
(out of sight)

is a link to find vendors)

http://www.fremarc.com/ideas/ctry_eng_set.html (again, no prices, but
you may be able to contact the mfg.)

(Yet again, no prices. However going to the main page will lead you to
a showroom locator)

Sorry I couldn't be more help. This was a quick web search.

Howdy vicsing-ga,

You can call 1-800-845-6677 (Cresco/Resco Restaurant Equipment) and ask
for "Jerry" for these kinds of tables.  They all, however, have Formica
tops, but run around $400.00 or so.  Once you had one, you could probably
get a somewhat talented carpenter to take the hardware (hinges, etc.) and
make a more elegant appearing version while staying within your budget.

Looking Forward, denco-ga - Google Answers Researcher
