Speaking of alternative table ideas, I recently mounted a 12 x 18 cutting
board with the bracket/flange all the way to one end, which now is set-up
permanently in the front table mount. It fits very nicely in between the
seats, and also swings nicely out-of-the-way to get through the aisle if
needed. Much more practical than the stock table, and no need to stowaway
the tabletop. The Maple I purchased looks rather attractive as well, and
with rounded corners, nothing to run in to or damage anything.

Have to admit though, that guys idea of using the door as the tabletop is
rather ingenious. Reminds me a lot of Alton Brown's (food networks's "Good
Eats") philosophy of everything should be a multitasker, unitaskers are
taboo. Still, how long would it be before the door gets all scratched up?

I picked up by cutting board for $18 at a local Fred Meyer, and nicks and
scrapes add character to cutting boards;) My cabinet doors are smiling right
now;)

Cheers,

Troy
