Console table design assistance
Furnished content.
(from WoodNet.net)


Looking for some design direction/assistance for a console/sofa table with an top-folding leaf looking to pair with industrial cast iron legs. The table will be approx 5'-6' long, and around 12" wide (expandable to ~2'). Table top is similar in function as in the link below, except only 1 leaf not 2. I like the idea of straight/telescoping supports, but not sure how to implement and still provide adequatesupport. Pivoting wing-arms would work, but unlike a traditional drop leaf table, they will be visible when the expansion leaf is stored on top.I am sure there is a way to disguise them, if there are no other options...Would/could drawer slides work?
Thoughts???
TIA
