Hello,
At a Brooklyn design fair this weekend I spotted a pretty nice convertible option called the Grasshopper Table by a group called Big Prototype (www.bigprototype.com).
It's a large rectangle top (bamboo, a neutral colored ply, or Corian) with angular metal legs. In the lower position the legs cross; then you have to tilt the table over and open the legs to get the dining-table height. You could comfortable seat 4--6 people at the table. It starts at $1,400.
Hope this helps someone with a larger space and plumper wallet than mine! I keep hoping for a convertible table that works with a piston-like mechanism but doesn't look too modern in that dentist-office way.
