Learn how to install the Heart'n'Soul extra plate 120 to extend your dining table. Step-by-step guide for adding a leaf to the Heart'n'Soul 120 table.

Quick answer

To extend your Heart'n'Soul 120 dining table, simply pull open the drawer at either end, remove the stored extension plate, slide it into the table's center gap, and lock it in place.

Why the Heart'n'Soul system is different from a traditional drop-leaf

Most extendable tables use a butterfly leaf that flips up from the center or a stored leaf you lift into a slot. The Heart'n'Soul design integrates the extension plates into fabric-inlaid drawers at each end of the table. This keeps the extra surface out of sight and protects it from dust, while the drawers also serve as catch-all storage for everyday clutter.

What you need before you start

The Heart'n'Soul extra plate 120 is a separate component piece sold to match your table finish—Oak or Walnut. If you purchased the Heart'n'Soul 120 dining table new, the two extension plates are typically included and stored inside the drawers. If you bought the table secondhand or need a replacement, confirm you have the correct plate size (120 cm) and finish before attempting installation.

Steps to install the Heart'n'Soul extra plate

  1. Clear the table surface and open one drawer: Remove any items from the tabletop and from the drawer at either end of the table. Pull the drawer open fully to access the stored extension plate. Make sure the drawer slides out smoothly; if it sticks, check for debris in the track.
  2. Remove the extension plate from the drawer: Lift the Heart'n'Soul extra plate 120 out of the drawer. The plate is designed to sit flat inside the drawer compartment, so it should come out easily without forcing. Do not pull the plate at an angle—lift straight up to avoid scratching the finish against the drawer sides.
  3. Slide the plate into the center gap: Locate the open slot in the middle of the table where the two halves separate. Align the extension plate with the slot and slide it in until it sits flush with the table surface. The plate should lock into place with a subtle click or resistance. If the plate does not slide in easily, check that the table halves are fully separated—pull the table ends apart gently until the gap matches the plate width.
  4. Close the drawer and secure the table: Push the drawer closed. The table is now extended and ready for use. To return to the smaller size, reverse the process: open the drawer, remove the plate, slide the table halves together, and store the plate back in the drawer. Always store the plate in the drawer when not in use—it protects the finish and keeps the leaf from getting lost or damaged.
