Ideas for replacing junk furniture

[therink]

I need some ideas. This winter, I plan on replacing the uncomfortable pleather sofa with a dual recliner love seat.
I also want to replace the warped and wobbly dinette table. My table is the type with two aluminum posts with a thin osb table. The table has warped and the aluminum posts will not remain tight no matter what I do. The whole table assemblyis junk at best. The dinette seat cushion are thin and leave a lot to be desired.
I have a good idea about couch replacement. I am just going to shop locally for a comfy dual recliner couch that will fit and match decor. I don't care about the air mattress option. That is a no-brainer.
What have others done to replace or improve the table? I thought about removing the dinette and replacing with 4 chairs and free standing table but do like the option of using as a bed.

You can use the same dinette hardware, go get a half sheet of 3/4" cabinet grade oak plywood and some 3/4" oak 1/4 round molding. Use the molding around the edges to hide the plywood, stain it to match your interior and mount it. Put small dabs of wood glue in with the screws, they won't come out. Your new table will be solid, sturdy, look good and cost you about $40 and a few hours of your time.

Excellent idea. I would also need to replce the two post pedestals with something better. i cant use the sidewall as a mounting option due to the large window that extends about 4 inches below the tabletop.

Look at Boat tables they use straight legs (not tapered) I used them on my TT the base plates should be the same. The sofa you will have to take the backs off to fit in the door.

I'm coming in a little late on this, if you go to factoryRVsurplus.com they sell a folding table base, no more posts to worry about. Our friends have this on their new trailer and they can take the table outside.

We bought a FlexSteel sleeper sofa from Bradd & Hall to replace the POS Alpine sofa. It breaks into parts to move in and out. We moved it to our new fiver, then also bought two Lambright recliners from Bradd and Hall. Later, we added two side tables. Bradd & Hall are out of Elkhart.

We took out our uncomfortable sofa and replaced it with two La-z-Boy Harbor Town recliners, narrower than most recliners, but still ample room for us, just enough space between to get your hand down the side to use the recline handle. Big improvement.
Also replaced the bracket the tv was held on with to one that swings out without having to turn the revolving wooden frame, gives the viewer in the seat nearest the tv a better view instead of cutting out a third of the picture.
(table is still warped!)

Thank you. I figured the OP has probably done his renovations by now but thought it might be helpful to future readers.

Good timing for me. Our "theatre recliners" just disintegrated. The leather? wrinkled up and then just melted away. Was thinking Costco or similar for replacements.
Thanks for the vendor info.
