now that's some good thinking...
Life is not a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in a pretty and well preserved body, but rather to skid in broadside, thoroughly used up, totally worn out, and loudly proclaiming
WOW!!! What a Ride!
Forget the primal scream, just ROAR!!!
Wish I would have had one a week ago
I'll tell you what, those old style tables had it all over the new ones. You are one lucky dude.

A strong nation, like a strong person, can afford to be gentle, firm, thoughtful, and restrained. It can afford to extend a helping hand to others. It's a weak nation, like a weak person, that must behave with bluster and boasting and rashness and other signs of insecurity. --Jimmy Carter

Good idea.
Have a couple of old computer desks somewhere with that type mechanism, will have to make one like yours next time I needs something like that

LOL, hope the mods dont catch on <G>
Cranks can always seem to screw things up, what about lowering?
That, is a great idea and re-use of something someone didn't need anymore. And the price cannot be beat.

Wouldn't it free up counter space to just screw the cabinet into the wall and take out hospital table?
Ok, all seriousness aside, a nice creative tip.
