You fold it out to 95 degrees, pop down the legs and then lower the table top/legs down so that it is flat (90 degrees). To put away, lift up slightly, flip up the legs, flip down the table top. | |

| Jan 9, 2022 at 2:47 | comment | added | ChrisC | Thanks manassehkatz! I will have a look if I can find a way to make folding brackets work. About your idea for folding hinged legs: I was also thinking of that. But if they are attached to the table, I don’t see any way of folding them at all, unless I am able to fold the table upward a bit. Any folding of the legs would put the diagonal of the legs (or any foldable subsection) at a 90 degree with the floor, meaning they don’t have enough space to extend. Or am I not thinking of something? | |
