RE: Use of Rear Table
I see a number of people talking about taking out one or both tables,
the rear table especially.
Try this.  With the rear table in the stowed position, above the
cabinets, loosen the knob that holds the arm for the table and lift
the table up 18" to two feet then tighten the knob, locking the table
in this raised position.  This gives access to the two storage areas
and also a raised area to lay stuff.  I have a plastic storage tub,
with lid, that stays there and holds the stuff I'm always reaching for
like sugar for my coffee, cups, a couple of plates, snacks, etc.  When
traveling the lid goes on and two bungee cords go around the closed
bin and the table is lowered.
BTW, I've added an internal wooden guide rod for the table leg that
makes it easier to keep the table flat when raised.
Now several of you are going to say (But now you can't open the door
to the hanging closet"..
I've switched the tables, the smaller front table in in the rear, the
longer rear table is mounted up front.  You have to move the legs with
the table by the way.  This allows the door to the hanging closet to
open and clear no matter what level the rear table is locked into.
