I'm looking for a coffee table that raises up to dining hight. Dark wood finish.
I have the original wt. formica table that came with my 73 convt. One corner of the top is split so one sheet of formica and some contact cement would fix it. It is a cocktali table and rises to a dining table that easily sits 6. If you wish you could easily recover it in any color wood or formica you desired. make me an offer and check out shipping costs from ft. laud fl. and it;s yours.
I think Oak Express had the dark tables. Oak wood though. Sofa mart had tables also. I purchased a lighter color table with the thought of refinishing or using it as a pattern to make a mahog table. There hard to fine.They sure work great. I have them at home and on the boat. Bill

How to find "Oak Express"?
My 45C didn't come with a Hi-Lo, and the "pure marine" versions are STUPID expensive. Would like to buy one, but not for $1k+.
Oak Express is a retail outlet that deals in almost all Oak items.There is one in Toledo ,Detroit.I don't know how far the chain goes from there. If I get in the area I will check were there are other stores Bill
For OakExpress go to www.oakexpress.com and click on Locations. It will have a drop down list of states and you will then get the store sites.
Sorry, Karl, it looks like none in Florida :(
Yeah, and looking around their web page I see no evidence of a high-low table in there either.....
That bites - they'd sell me one if they had something I could actually see....
They have a hi/low table but its not the type you are looking for.Sorry. Bill
I looked for one of these for years and finally gave up and bought one from an outfit in Ft L. Well, I correct myself- it's on the way here. I think the original hi-lo tables may have been made by Castro Convertibles. Steve McPherson knows. (A free burger to whoever first posts the Castro Convertibles slogan here..your restaurant of choice in Annapolis, MD.) :D
Was it "Just round the Corner"? Howard in Holland on Michigan's West and best Coast
Sorry, no, any other takers?
How about "it's so easy a child can do it..."
riordans would be the ticket.
Here's a place to by a Hi Low table, big $$$$$ but just the best as far as quality goes. I bought one in 1987, still have it and it's like new.

I recently bought 2 deck boxes from Pomanette. High quality but pricey $$$$$$. I really had no choice though, since it seems that everyone who makes what they call a deckbox is really a dockbox. A deckbox is supposed to have feet on it, not just a flat bottom. My deck isn't flat and neither are most decks. A flat bottom dockbox will just not work on deck!!! There....I vented my frustration over this costly purchase.
I have a hi-low table with fold down leaves off of my 1983 46' convertible that I may part with. It is dark wood but not teak (probably mahogany). Very nice condition. Any interest? I can send pictures.Quote:

Riordan's is good...Galway Bay is even better. Slogan was "Who was the first to conquer space?" Keep in mind this was in the sixties- this was considered witty and catchy at the time. I got my table, which is due this week, from Scott Boyle Custom Tables in FL. Will try to post photos once we get it unpacked and in the boat. Previous work I have seen of his was superlative- just terrific.
OK, got the hi-lo table from Scott Boyle in FL, FLA. Unpacked it- this took 45 mins as he had built a heavy wooden crate around the table and then secured that to a pallet. It arrived, not surprisingly, in perfect shape. The table is beautifully made- he used Peruvian walnut which is a good match for the interior of my 1971 boat. Total cost about 2100$. This is not cheap, but it is as good a piece of woodworking and finishing as I have ever seen anywhere, and not a mark on it- just perfect. I recommend him highly. This is the second of his products I have seen and the first one was equally as nice.
Pictures???
Original Hatteras hi-lo table in Maryland available. Very nice condition. $700.00.

I have an original hi-lo table AFAIK. It is hydraulically raised/lowered, and has two leaves. The top is heavy dark wood parquet. Weighs enough to almost require two to move it. Condition is 8 or a 9. Would need to get some pictures.
Email is qleslie@sbcglobal.net.
