Ours was the same.Frustrating. Tried 3 different tables all were off by 2 to 4 inches. We gave up and removed the storage box (3 screws) which greatly enhanced the leg room and made it way easier to get in and out of Dinette area.

A bigger problem has been our heater rattle. Took it back to our dealer and 3 weeks later (took that long to get approval for parts?!!) Of course it still rattles. Tried a different dealer same thing. 3 weeks still rattles. Took it back and after one week they have done nothing as they can't seem to replicate the rattle. Told us they have had running 8 hrs a day and periodically check for noise. I'm not kidding. Talked to a parts guy who told me privately that no one had even looked at it yet. Said common practice is to let trailer set for at least 3 weeks before checking since we didn't buy there. Sure would appreciate a phone # for forest river. Neither dealer would give it to me.

You could pop the front grate off and poke around with your finger (when it is cool) to see if you can find the rattle. It might be the front itself.

I've got the '14 179 HRE and the bed problem exists. FRs response was the same then as now, remove the feet from the table. They also sent me the cusion which fits in the space not covered by the existing cushions. Of course removing the feet did not resolve the problem. We're living with it!

First thing I did when I bought my new 179 last August was to give my table away to Goodwill. To heavy and bulky to move it around. Replaced it with a fold up canvas table. No storage problems, easy to move and set up.
