A friend of mine has a fold-down piece on the side of her desk so that when she is working, she just folds out this board that matches the top of her desk and then there is three more feet of space for her kids to use. It has a leg that folds out to support it. The actual side of the desk has a space to accommodate the thickness of the leg when the extension is folded down. I hope this make sense, Betsy
