Hello all. Its been awhile. I am seeking advice about the best way to handle the table top of a booth dinette, for raising it to the table position, and then lowering it to the bed position. I know there are hinge kits available that allow the table top to swing down to the lower position, and also raise to the upper (table) position. However, I already purchased the tubular post and associated upper and lower brackets that mount to the bottom of the table, and also to the floor, respectively. The post is 27" high, and with the table top attached, the total height of the table is 28". So my concern is whether the hinges that are out there will be able to be mounted on the wall in such a location so that the table when it is in the "up" position, will be level with the post end? I have a singular post (the tube referred to earlier) located about 12 inches from one end of the table. So I need the hinge to make the table top level with the 28" high end of the table when up, and also drop down to the correct location to rest on the table supports correctly. Am I making sense? Does anyone have any experience with what I am talking about? If so, please tell me if I have nothing to worry about. Or, if I may have to adjust the height of the tubular post to match and make the table level. Obviously, it would be simple enough to raise the "post end" of the table by just putting a board between the post bracket and the table top. Lowering it would be another issue. Please provide input. Thanks
