The interesting thing about this table is not that it gets bigger but that it changes geometry. A 43-inch circle is a shape where everyone can see everyone and nobody sits at a head; a 57-inch oval is a shape with a long axis, ends and sides, and conversation across it works differently — more like a dinner party, less like a card game. Choosing when to be which is a social decision rather than a spatial one, and it is the reason a round-to-oval table is worth more than a round table that simply grows.
