[A/S] New Remodeling pictures and question
I just added two new pictures of my ongoing remodeling project to my
85 Sovereign folder.
As you can see, I replaced the front credenza/folding table with an
oak cabinet/folding table. The cabinet is raised panel, with an
actual door, rather than the pressed wood and tambour door
arrangement I removed (I sometimes think I am creating a Limited, one
piece at a time). The door, being almost front-facing, has a
positive latch, not just a spring catch.
In the second of these pictures, you can see the fold-out table fully
extended (you can also see our newly upholstered couch/bed). When
up, but folded, we find it just a bit tight for two. When fully
extended, it is much too large, and rather in the way. Question:
could someone give me a good reason why I should not re-engineer the
table to have a split top to accept two leaves? Advantages: We could
set the table up and have it the same size it is now, add a leaf to
where it is perfect for the two of us, or add two leaves and be as
large as the present arrangement. It would be lighter to raise,
easier to slide back and forth on the rail, and would always be flush
with the credenza extension, making the table that much larger in
effect. The disadvantages are: ????
