Copeland Butterfly Extension Table
Copeland Butterfly Extension Dining Table in Nashville
Look underneath. The base tells the story. The sculptural Butterfly form gives this solid-wood table its personality. A self-storing folding leaf gives it a practical reason to be in the room.
Made by Copeland Furniture in Bradford, Vermont, the Butterfly is designed for everyday dining, larger gatherings, and customers who want to see the wood, feel the finish, and understand how the table works before choosing it.
- Self-storing folding leaf
- Walnut, cherry, or oak
- Two extension sizes
- Made in Vermont
The Copeland Butterfly Extension Table is a solid-hardwood dining table with a sculptural interlocking base and a folding leaf stored inside the table. Copeland currently lists two extension sizes and wood choices in American black walnut, American cherry, and oak. At 2 Danes in Nashville, the most important part is seeing the base from every angle, opening the leaf, and comparing real wood and finish samples before deciding.

What the video shows
Jan starts with the details that make this table worth a closer look: the solid wood, the sculptural base underneath, and the extension leaf that makes the table more useful when the guest list changes.
- The shape and craftsmanship of the Butterfly base
- How the built-in folding leaf expands the table
- Why real wood and finish need to be seen in person
- How size options help the table fit different dining rooms
- Why this is the kind of furniture customers may want to keep for years
The video is the introduction. The showroom is where you see the grain, feel the finish, open the leaf, and decide whether the scale works in your room.
Look underneath
The base is not an afterthought.
The Butterfly name makes sense the moment you see the interlocking curves beneath the top.
Rather than hiding the structure behind a heavy apron or four ordinary legs, the base becomes part of the room. Its open shapes give the table a sculptural presence while allowing the wood grain and joinery to remain visible from more than one direction.
That matters when the table sits in an open dining area where you see it from the living room, kitchen, or entry—not only when you are seated.
Useful sculpture. Beautiful enough to notice, practical enough to use every day.
Not just beautiful — functional
The leaf stays with the table.
The extension version uses precision-bearing glides and a self-storing folding leaf, so you can create more room without finding a closet for a loose panel.
Open the table
The extension mechanism lets the two ends move apart to create space for the built-in leaf.
Unfold the stored leaf
The folding leaf lives inside the table and comes into position when you need the additional surface.
Close it when dinner is over
The leaf folds back into its storage position, returning the table to its everyday footprint.
Current manufacturer dimensions
Two sizes for two different kinds of room.
Choose the table around your everyday room—not only the largest gathering you might host once a year.
46 inches wide × 30 inches high
A more compact extension format for dining rooms that need flexibility without carrying the visual weight of the larger table.
50 inches wide × 30 inches high
A larger format for customers who want more everyday surface and more room when the leaf is opened.
Measurements above reflect Copeland’s current published product information. Confirm the exact size, SKU, and showroom configuration with 2 Danes before ordering.
Solid hardwood choices
The wood changes the whole table.
The Butterfly shape remains recognizable, but walnut, cherry, and oak each give it a different visual weight and warmth.
American black walnut
Deep natural color and expressive grain give the base a richer, more dramatic presence.
American cherry
Cherry options bring a warmer tone that can deepen and develop character with exposure to light.
Oak
Oak is offered in a range of finishes, from lighter natural and sand tones to deeper weathered, taupe, and seared directions.
Natural wood does not behave like a printed surface. Grain, knots, color variation, and subtle differences in hand-applied finishes are part of the material. Digital images are only an approximation.
See the samples. Touch the finish. Look at them beside your flooring, cabinets, or chairs.
Made in Vermont
Modern equipment. Traditional woodworking judgment.
Copeland builds furniture in Bradford, Vermont, combining current manufacturing technology with hands-on woodworking techniques.
The story is not simply that the table is made from solid hardwood. It is how the material is selected, shaped, joined, sanded, finished, and turned into a piece intended for daily use.
Copeland describes its company around quality, design integrity, and furniture for future generations to use and enjoy. At 2 Danes, the customer-facing version is simpler:
A table you use now and keep for years.
That is not a promise that furniture is indestructible. It is a reason to slow down, understand the materials, and choose the right size and finish instead of treating the table like a temporary purchase.
More ways to picture it
One recognizable table. Very different rooms.
Who should see this table?
A strong fit when you want craftsmanship and function in the same piece.
You want a table that stays useful for normal meals but can create more room when people gather.
You care about grain, finish, touch, and the difference between real hardwood and a printed imitation.
Your dining table is visible from several rooms, so the base matters as much as the top.
You would rather choose carefully once than replace a temporary table every few years.
What you need to see in person
You cannot judge this table from one product photo.
The base from every angle
Walk around it. The Butterfly form changes as the curves overlap and separate.
The extension motion
Open the table and watch where the folding leaf is stored before and after use.
Real wood and finish samples
Compare walnut, cherry, and oak under actual light rather than relying on a monitor.
The scale in your room
Bring measurements for the room, rug, walkways, and surrounding furniture.
Your chair spacing
Chair width and arm height affect how many seats feel comfortable and how they relate to the base.
Delivery access
Measure doors, hallways, turns, elevators, and stairs before choosing the larger configuration.

Frequently asked questions
Copeland Butterfly Extension Table FAQ
What is the Copeland Butterfly Extension Table?
The Copeland Butterfly is a solid-hardwood extension dining table with a sculptural interlocking base and a self-storing folding leaf. It is part of Copeland Furniture’s Butterfly Dining collection.
How does the Butterfly table extend?
The extension version opens on precision-bearing glides and uses a folding leaf stored inside the table. The built-in leaf lets you create more surface area without carrying a separate panel from another room.
Where is the extension leaf stored?
The folding leaf stores inside the table when it is closed. That built-in storage is one of the practical reasons to see the mechanism demonstrated in person.
What sizes are available?
Copeland currently lists two extension configurations: approximately 46 inches wide by 72 inches long closed and 92 inches open, and 50 inches wide by 84 inches long closed and 108 inches open. Both are listed at 30 inches high. Confirm the exact configuration available through 2 Danes before ordering.
What wood species and finishes are available?
Copeland currently lists American black walnut, American cherry, and oak for the Butterfly Extension Table. Finish choices vary by wood species and current program. See samples in person because digital screens cannot represent wood color and grain exactly.
Is the Copeland Butterfly Table made in Vermont?
Copeland Furniture operates its manufacturing facility in Bradford, Vermont. The company describes its process as a combination of modern manufacturing technology and traditional craft techniques.
Will every solid-wood table look exactly like the photos?
No. Natural grain, knots, color variation, and the way hardwood changes with light are part of solid wood. Those differences help make each table visually distinct.
How many people can sit at the table?
Capacity depends on the selected table size, whether it is open or closed, the width of your dining chairs, and how much elbow room you prefer. Bring your chair dimensions and room measurements to the showroom for a more useful comparison.
Does the Butterfly collection include fixed-top tables?
Yes. The Butterfly collection includes fixed-top and other top configurations in addition to the extension table. This page focuses on the extension version shown in the 2 Danes video.
