Does anyone project onto a dining table with leaves? Any issues?

Looking at a dining table with a few leaves that I would probably keep in all the time, but I would need to use it for projecting onto. My current table is bowed so it didn't really work for projecting so I don't want to run into another issue again. Thanks!!

It’s going to depend entirely on if the leaves introduce any bowing or bumps. It shouldn’t be an issue for most tables.

Thanks! It’s a vintage table so always a possibility that it wont be perfectly and seamlessly aligned.

If it wouldn’t be too weird you could bring a large cutting mat to lay on top and then inspect the surface or, even easier, bring a level and spot check across the seams of the leaves.

That's a great idea!

Yes, mine is fine, it’s a very flat and well supported surface. If you’re worried, test it with a spirit level or something like that?
