I also assume, other than support when converting to bed, there is no end support for table?

As much as table moves Id pull the hinge off and peen leaves tighter. Especially utility hinges, one of my pet peeves. Just gripes me, first thing before installing a hinges is to drag out drift and hammer to 'fix'.

The floor mount was all it took.

That's the way S&S designed and built it. I can use the area open with no brace in the way. The brace makes for a solid table in use or when bumped.

Seems like something else is wrong if it needs a hinge. At lasts most tables don't have them.

The brace flips down, drops 3/4" and becomes center support for the counter top when I convert the dinette area into a second bed.

When you take the post out, the brace flips down and becomes a center support for the table top when you turn the dinette table into a bed.
