German term

Vorzugstisch

German to English Tech/Engineering Furniture / Household Appliances
It's about table with attachable wooden table boards.... can we say "pull-out tables"???

pull(-)out table / fold(-)out table

don't see anything wrong with your suggestion, though the German term is odd

"ausziehbarer Tisch" might be more suitable.

expanding table

I'm not familiar with the term "Vorzugstisch" but based on your description (table with attachable wooden table boards), here are some more possibilities: expanding table, draw-top table (a center section - leaf - can be inserted in the middle).

agree writeaway : extendable ?

That would work too.

Draw-leaf table

I don't know if this is becoming old-fashioned (like me?), but it's the term I grew up with....

table with hinged leaves

that fold up. But pull-out-table is also correct if the leaves are tucked under the table surface and you pull them straight out, sliding on rails.
