We had the same happen in our previous trailer from another manufacturer. It was the wood molding around the table top that let go, dumping my 84-year-old mother. It too was only stapled and glued, and the collapse tore some of the formica off the table top as well.
On my current trailer, one of the first things I did was to get some ABS pipe and make alternative posts for the table at the right height for when it is in bed position. They both slide inside one of the stock aluminum legs, so it's very convenient.
I have still learned not to put anybody on it heavier than a kid.
