Turned Dining Table

We finished turning our dining table sideways. Here is a photo. There are more photos in the picasa link in our signature.

Looks good!!! I think you will like it, now you can put your LR chair between the couch and the table.

That looks nice and neat Job well done.

Nice. I really like the table. It is original to the camper or did you buy elsewhere?

Scruffyand tater, I have just noticed that you do not have the boarder around the centre of your walls did you remove it or was it never there.

Julie,
That's the original table, and we like it so wouldn't be interested in replacing it. BUT, if we ever were to decide to replace it, I'd be very interested in looking at the IKEA gateleg table. It has 6 drawers in the middle that would probably store lots of little stuff.

Sean,
We have the border up stairs and in the kitchen. I'd like to remove it, but am afraid I'd really mess things up if I tried.

Tater

Very nice Tater!! I see you elimninated two chairs like we did when we turned ours. With your floor plan, that table turn looks like it could have come from FR that way.

We had to turn ours so we could fit dog crates for our four-legged children.

Tater.... Would love to know where you got the folding wooden chairs? Thinking of a similar mod myself..

Thanks
Otis

Those chairs and others that are similar are on Amazon.com. Do a search for folding chairs or folding dining chairs. One of our requirements was to find chairs that would fit under the bed when folded. Most of the chairs have their dimensions listed.

Here is a picture of the ones we got from Costco, I believe it was $25.00 each.

Tater - You but them under the bed. Are U into weigh lifting. That bugger is a bear to lift.

I think I found it. It has 3 drawers on each side.

Table is now free to go were it wants to. I also added more screws and glue to the shaky momma. Now pretty solid. I never noticed before that both legs are not the same. Interesting how they save money any way they can.

We have the Ikea table and love it. It was nice taking out the dinette, a lot easier getting around.

Recieved my new folding chairs yesterday and made the "turn". It is amazing how much room we gained. Thanks for the mod suggestion Tater...

Oldelmer1 did the "turn" with his before we did ours. He put a couple screws into the legs that he said were easy to remove if they ever wanted to turn the table back. He has since replaced his Wildcat with a Montana.

We put the plywood on the bottom to keep it stable and we can turn it easily whenever we need to.

Hi Tater,

We liked the table turned so much, that we also turned the table in our Montana.

We met some friends in Gettysburg a few weeks ago, and finally tried out our folding chairs, had to move the table back to its original position, but the chairs worked great.
