We replaced the 178 dinette cushions last year. Big improvement. Details:


2 @ 4" x 12" x 33” => $28.16
2 @ 4" x 24" x 33” => $56.32
1 @ 4" x 23" x 74” => $61.46

Total cost = > $145.94

I changed my counter and used 3/4" birch and almond laminate.

I second the suggestion on the particle board, especially for the counter top.

   I changed the foam in our cushions for a better quality foam. What a difference, wish I had made the change sooner. Ordered the foam over the internet then measured it and cut it with a kitchen knife, very easy mod. The two things I wish RV manufactures would spend a few extra dollars on that's cushion foam and plywood instead of using particle board. I am going out to our camper now more often to read and watch TV the comfortable cushions make it so much more enjoyable.
