The tabletop is hinged along the wall, and under it is a cylinder filled with gas. This design is held in a vertical position with a strap or special clips.

When you start to lay out the table, the gas from the cylinder presses on the piston and raises the table top up. So, the table quickly unfolds.

In order to fix the tabletop with your own hands, you can use different methods.So, you can purchase a ready-made assembled set of a folding table, and you can assemble the table top yourself.

You can close these structural elements with a special putty or glue, and then sand the last layer. Then you need to go to the mounting structure. The front plate is fixed under the lowermost mounting part of the future table.

The bar will delimit the tabletop when folded, and will also make the design more rigid and reliable. It is best to fasten it with long screws or cotter pins.. Some choose the method of mounting on the corners. The finished legs of the table and the base for the loop must be tightened with 3 cm screws.

After that, you need to install a folding system, the role of which will perform staples.They will provide the ability to fold not only the tabletop, but also the legs. Staples should be the most rigid and qualitative in composition.

Two brackets need to be installed a little closer than from the edges of the proposed construction, and the third - in the middle. After that, you can tighten the beam - mount with three-centimeter screws. After performing all these works, you can go to the fasteners. It is important to correctly mark the necessary space for the installation of the future table. It should also measure the height of the legs, so that the design does not interfere with its operation.

When installing it is important to initially draw the correct horizontal lines on the wall. It is best to use for this level, so that the table is perfectly spaced. Initially, you need to install the mount with a leg. And it is better to hang it a couple of centimeters above the drawn horizontal line on the wall.After that, you need to fix it with dowels or reliable screws to the wall. Thus, the installation will be completed. You will only have to check how well the folding table functions.
