Looks good but I probably wld have made the bottom board on the wall more like a French cleat… so the table top wld have a grove to set in that way it can’t get knocked off so easily
That wouldn’t be a bad idea!! However because of tables weight it’s really secure. Someone would have to intentionally pull it for it to fall off the bottom board. You’re idea would prevent it from happening at all which is smart!
@@DrewLarsenDesigns .. again I’m not trying to bash what u did!! I will actually do the same build.. I just have little ones running around like wild Indians and I don’t trust them.. lol..
Really economic design. Love it. A rotating cam retainer would be a good solution to accidental slippage at the bottom. Simple wooden block would do. A French cleat would require a lift and then tilt to drop the table for use which would defeat how easy this thing is to deploy. Would feel a bit more comfortable with a more robust latch at the top.

No I totally agree with you! And I think that idea is really good!! If I could go back and change it I would add your advice 😊

I appreciate it! And that rotating retainer is a great idea!
I do plan on replacing the latch in the future. It was pretty cheap 😂
