Tired of my dinette table with folding legs

I have a pretty standard plastic dinette table that goes between my two fold up benched in my TH. I hate the fold up legs. Was thinking about converting it to a removable pedestal type arrangement. Problem is my TH is all alumn including the floor so I don't want to cut holes to flush mount the plates. I thought about the Sequoia system with it's semi flush plates but figure I'd need two and that' about $150. Here is another option and I wanted to get everyones opinion on - what about using two removable wall brackets ( $20 on ebay for stainless ) and one Sequoia leg system. I hate to spend a $150 only to find out it's too wobbly.. BTW I plan to add plywood under the plastic table to screw my brackets and plates on.

I have no idea what would work for your situation. I recently switched from pedestal legs to the Lagun table system. It is not rock solid but is firm. I wanted the adjustability and I also was happy to get rid of the legs.

Consider using table legs that Lance uses. We installed them in our TT and they are rock solid plus they look sexy. They're available from a Lance dealer or TACOmarine.com. I believe ours are the 3" dia. ones. The typical RV pedestal legs are VERY wobbly.

Our table was shaken and moved around. We never use it as a bed. Out came the brackets on the wall,A1x2 piece of wood was screwed to the wall. the leg no longer folds a couple of wood blocks, 1 x 2 fixed that. The table was screwed to the 1x2 on the wall problem solved. A nice solid table. A few screws, and a 4' piece of 1 x 2

The table wobbles. It don't matter how tight you push the legs into the floor base, they still wobble. The bigger the table, the worse it is.

Can you convert it to a dream dinette? You need a vertical surface from floor to ceiling to mount the unit, but IMHO it is the very best table up/down system available. In your case, you might have to mount a 3/4 inch piece of sturdy plywood onto the wall, and use multiple screws into that to put the dinette slider on the wall. I did that, and then mounted a small shelf at the top of the bracket. With table up, the shelf and the table top touched.
