Here is the situation. I need space to fold clothes in my laundry room. We have a giant bin for dog food in the only space I have to put a table. It has to stay where it is, so I am looking for a table that is wall mounted, folds up (and latches). That way, I can use it to fold the stupid laundry and latch it up when we need to get to the bins for dog food. Every wall mounted folding table I have seen folds down, so would have to move the bin every time I needed to fold clothes.

Any suggestions on search terms, or would this just be a better DIY?

I've never done something on this scale before. So here's the rundown. I wanted to make a table connected to the wall that I could at least partially fold away so we can get to the window still. Was thinking of using a 3 1/2-4 foot long, 1 inch thick, 14-16 inch wide pine board for the table. I've been trying to design this thing for awhile now.

Came up with an almost drawbridge like design but realized it's prob a bad idea as it would require me to move everything off the table, plus there is a heat dial in the way on the wall and I question the safety level. I've come up with maybe having half the table and the legs fold under the desk but that would be awkward and my bad back injury wouldn't appreciate it. I thought of having half of the table fold up to a 90 degree angle, with the legs being able to fold down so they won't be a hazard.

I've been having a lot of trouble finding hinges/brackets/etc that would work well for this. Mostly because I worry about the weight of the table working downward against the hinges I'm finding. I did find one hinge that looked like it could do the job but that would require it to be on the topside of the table. It's doable but it would look bad plus I feel it's a hazard.

Any ideas or thoughts on this? Any help would be greatly appreciated, thank you!
