You can store the extension leaves underneath the tabletop. There is a sticker with the Linneberg logo and serial number 25906 on the bottom of the tabletop.

He designed for several workshops before opening his own furniture workshop in the 1930s. His well-crafted designs were mostly executed in rosewood and teak. He is known for his coffee tables, like the highly sculptural Smile Table. He closed his workshop in the 1980s.
