I am not a fan of white tables, but I actually like the red and white color scheme in this picture.
Here's the way the table looks upon folding:
Of course, the set is probably out of our price range, even though it isn't terribly expensive as tables go, and I am still not sure what we'd do with the chairs between meals. Luckily, IKEA offers a version without chairs so we could still potentially use, say, folding chairs.
They also have a "natural wood" version sold without chairs:
Perhaps there is some potential there, even though the thing could fold a little more neatly:
Searching on Ikea's website for desks, I also found some interesting ideas, even if I am not in the market right now for a desk.
These, for instance, are a bit boxy, but similar to desks featured in a number of small-space living design websites recently, placed flush against the wall as if to disappear in it:
And this seems altogether too bulky for our size of space, and it is not really my style, but it does present an interesting set of storage-desk combo options:
