Dropdown desks on Farber units

[Melodie Moore]

Hi everyone,

Who else has a Farber unit equipped with a dropdown desktop? Ours is made of some type of stone resin composite and it is heavy. In fact, it has come loose a few times. Our maintenance crew shored it up a bit, but it still pulled loose. What do you all do to prevent yours from falling?

     

Thanks,

Melodie

I had one a long time ago, but my hinges were made differently.  More like regular door hinges

Sorry to be slow to respond...

We have a Farber with a dropdown desk, but very different design I think.

We have a piano hinge that runs the length on the one side with a latch to hold it up along with a support panel that swings out.
