How about using the twisted end for a "waterfall" leg? That should let you make some adjustments to it. IMG_0767.JPG That's an interesting idea there Dennis. It might shave off too much length to achieve the height I want for the table. I was planning on using it for a behind the couch fu...

Having used both SilveRboard and the foam garage door kits. I would choose SilveRboard if you don't mind the bright aluminum faces and the blatant advertising. :).

Just to manage expectations, there may be no increase in function either and I hope they mentioned t...

Remember that you really want a complete set as you can be assured that the table syst...

How does one go about beating a poltergeist horse?

Thanks for the re-share Everett! Looks simple enough. Looks like the manufacturer's also did not trust the outside edges of the mark V 500 table as reference surfaces for square.
