Not sure what you mean here...
"I believe you could easily slap some shorter rails on for the slide out shelf and be set"
Thanks and good luck with your build.

In looking at some of their new builds for the slider, it doesn't appear they're going full length. You could mount it on a shorter rail only using 2 of the 3 legs to mount to. Set the rails back from the edge which would possibly give enough room for it to nest properly. I think they're not using locking slides on the front, and letting the seat hold it in the closed position.
That said, I'm a little nervous about that part of the build. Planning to build the main platform first then figuring out the slider part. I'm considering just not mounting the moving part and securing it flat on the main platform when not in use so that the sliders can tuck all the way back, for sure. I'll run some flat stock between the rails with holes. The boards will have some nubs (not sure if rubber or short bolts) that will sit in the holes, and will "secure" with velcro on a front bar.
Not totally sure, yet. I'm kinda surprised no one has jumped on it, as the feet, hardware, rails, and board are well over $600 if you bought them and put in the man hours to measure, cut, rout, drill, etc. That much good Baltic Birch is $300 right now. Realistically, $700 is below the sum of the parts.
