    Great job on the two multi-purpose sofas. Brilliant! Love it! You can sing, play music, and build, what a blessing from God.

    Genius design - especially the storage for tables and piano. I loved it! Like you, I could easily do the carpentry, but the upholstery would have been beyond me. But you figured it out!

    Nice clever and functional! I would wrap the cushions with poly fiber just like you find on most all cushioned furnishings. Keeps the shape and adds extra comfort with far less wrinkles in the fabric.

    Oh wow. I love the table mounts. I would love to get rid of our dinette as it becomes a clutter magnet most of the time. The swivel chairs are also falling apart and takes up too much space. We have a motorhome though and I don’t know how safe it is to have sideways facing seats. One side would have the fresh water tank and power panel but we could actually have hidden storage on the other side.
    Did you buy the table mounts and legs or were they part of the old table? If purchased could you post the link to them? I love how they sit low profile on the floor.

    Isn't it amazing how flimsy and cheap the dinettes are made? The RV's cost a lot of money, but not much is spent to build them. hmmm, but it does allow owners to remodel easier.

    • @TheTravelBags
      @TheTravelBags  6 лет назад +1

      True. It's a tough balance keeping them light AND sturdy. I think the light is winning out. ;)

      I think you could still do something like this. You just wouldn't be able to have the drawers underneath like we have. But the sofa bed would still work the same.
