So I have this ugly factory kitchen table in my mobile home that I want gone. It is built into the wall and floor. I was wondering if anyone else has had one like this that they have removed. Just wondering what to expect (ie will it come up easily or will i have gaping holes..LOL)

here is a link to a picture of the table.

  1. It is beautiful.....I would use a center piece on it and use it......but if you have to remove it. look for  braces on the wall and take them loose.....thew one on the floor, probably sits on a form.


  2. I live in a mobile and find that odd, and YES I'd want it gone too.

       We can't know how it is attached, but you should, and how its attachments will effect/affect, the surfaces you remove it from.

       In the image, is that carpet? is the wall paneled, or faux panel grained contact over thin drywall?

       No offense but why do so many do LOL???

       Your issues are pretty clear.

    Know how that unit is attached

    Determine how to remove it.

    Consider whether or not it is cut through carpet or wall substances.

       If that is carpet, it should be hoped that the table sits ON the carpet. That doesn't promise that you won't have an ugly scar upon removal.

       If the wall is paneled, or drywall, and the top is bracketed, which should be the case, then I suggest you can assume some patching, or hinding any damage anywhere.

  3. That's beautiful !  What do u want to replace it with?  Or No....just leave it empty.  It's easy to remove.  But on the base...u are gonna have problem sealing the open space where the leg is sitting on and also the place where the table is nailed to wall.  U either have to replace a molding to cover the wall and another piece of linoleum to patch that hole....Think about the hassle before u tear it up.
