I like the dinette table. Don't understand why they couldn't have made it with lighter metal. I notice that the cut off corner allows you to get in and out to sit down. It is a little tight though (glad I'm not overweight). You can push it away a little, but I wonder if I cut about 1 inch off the length of the 4 base ends, if it will allow me to slide it over a little more, making it more comfortable. But I hesitate, because maybe it was designed that way..maybe as long as it's working I won't bother. I don't want to compromise stability, especially when I use it as a bed. It doesn't look like it would, but I'm not a gambling man. And those footpads, can you adjust the height of them individually?
