Just finished up this mod. Tried to pull it off with as little damage as possible. Three screws that would be visible if the counter was removed. Zero screws for guests sleeping on the couch. Turned out better than I thought, sturdy and fairly cheap. Bought scrap Formica board from Home Depot for $.50!...brackets $12.00.

Nice Mod!

Did you cut the radius with a jig saw? Does it fold down or need to be removed? Looks like you used a wing nut for easy removal?

That looks nasty. Plus you're giving up a spot on the couch!

Yes I used a jigsaw to cut that corner. Just need to loosen the two screws to remove the whole extension, fold it up and store it away.

Sorry about the size of the pic's...still trying to figure them out.

ps-It looks like if you sit on the couch without the extension you could get a bad scape/cut on your right leg from the wing-nut hanging out there.

The wingnut is out of touch...unless you like to rub-up against the side of the counter!....all that counts is the DW is happy!
