Adding a pull out table under a fridge slide or drop slide

Spent Sunday modifying my Easy Slide 150 fridge drop slide to house a pull out table underneath it similar to the Tembo Tusk drop slide. Just wanted to share the results.

First I cut the front of the Easy Slide off.

cut a few pieces of 1.5x1.5" 1/8" steel angle

I order a piece of 10 gauge pre cut to 29"x15.25, fits like a glove. A hole to match drop slide's existing hole will be added to reduce weight.

Bolted the risers to the side

Bolted two KV 26" slides to the bottom, 1 locking, 1 not.

For the table to I found a Husky took box topper that fit with minimal modification.

Risers painted and table installed

The risers were tapped, a hole was cut into the top plate to match the hole in the bottom of the drop slide, top was painted and bolted down. I wanted to weld this, but the order of operations inhibited welding as it would have kept me from disassembling if needed in the future.

Fridge and table pulled out, fridge still drops down 85% of original drop with table out, but handle does get very close to table.

'butcher block' panels akin to what the OP used are available at Home Depot and Lowes. IIRC they are 3/4" thick.

Or you could glue-lam your own out of various contrasting woods for visual interest ;)

Looks nice! Question: How much vertical deflection (and/or how much weight will the table hold without drooping) on the table at full extension using the flat drawer sliders?
