Hey Forum, I am researching options for how to hide away a dining table. I have researched this a lot but nobody online seems to have done what I am looking to do yet .
One option is a single telescopic leg which would half work as would not allow the table to vanish away completely into the floor so would be my last option if I cannot find a better way. The other option is no table which I am considering.
The table needs to raise and lower to 2 positions. The highest position will be table for working or dining. The lowest position should be table top completely flush with the floor.
I will have a galley sofa layout which converts into a bed and want to be able to stand up straight without crouching so lowest position needs to be floor level with table top.
I can raise the floor level to max 100mm to accommodate the mechanism and table top see below drawing of the plan.
Any suggestions on how one might approach this? I am thinking of an ironing board type mechanism that allows the table to be raised simply by pulling it upwards until it locks into place.
You may well tell me that I will have better luck finding a unicorn that pisses whisky but worth an ask
