Edson Teak Fold Down Drop Leaf Table - Edson 9-1/2" Guard 1" to 1-1/8"

The Edson Teak Fold Down Drop Leaf Table with 9-1/2" Guard is a purpose-built marine-grade dining solution designed for vessel galley spaces where real estate is at a premium. Edson Marine's fold-down drop-leaf table transforms a cramped cockpit into a functional dining area by combining teak construction with a compact, stowable footprint that secures flush against the guard rail when not in use.

The table features formed wire brackets that swing into place to support the leaf system, with an adjustable 1" to 1-1/8" guard accommodation range to fit various vessel railing profiles. When folded, the table presents a compact 27" × 13" surface with integrated fiddle rails to prevent objects from sliding during rough sea conditions. The teak wood material resists saltwater corrosion and UV degradation superior to marine-grade plywood or aluminum, making it suitable for extended offshore use. The 20.8-pound weight keeps installation manageable without requiring permanent structural reinforcement, while the 17" × 4" × 32" dimensions ensure it stores efficiently in tight galley compartments.

This table is engineered for cruising sailboats, fishing vessels, and commercial marine applications where crew comfort during extended operations directly impacts mission readiness. The collapsible design eliminates permanent obstruction of deck space, a critical requirement for working vessels where the galley must remain accessible and flexible. Users operating in high-corrosion salt-air environments benefit from teak's inherent rot resistance compared to painted hardwoods or metal surfaces that require constant maintenance.

Edson Marine drop-leaf tables are a standard specification in marine architecture and are favored for retrofit installations where space optimization and durability in harsh marine conditions are non-negotiable. This model's 9-1/2" guard compatibility addresses the most common railing dimensions found in vessel designs from 25 to 60 feet in length.
