A while back, I took my original equipment salon table home to try to repair/refinish its surface. With the table out of the boat, my wife and I noticed that the whole interior seemed much more open and larger without it. Giving it some thought, we realized that for our day sailing or simple overnights at the berth, we didn't really need the large table most of the time. A smaller table might do just fine.
Rummaging under the house, I found an old wall decoration that had been stuffed away. With some modification, it became transformed into the quirky-looking table pictured below. The colors don't clash too badly with the interior fabric, anyway!
The original table is back on the boat ... but now tucked under the v-berth cushions for take out when we might want it. Also the OEM table serves dual duty as a "bed-frame" element when we convert the settee into a sleeping berth.
I'm not sure if any of the other Cherubini models use the chrome steel post method to support the table. With some modification, attaching a "2" PVC fitting to the underside of the table worked great for dropping it on the post.
Just thought to post in case anybody is looking for a winter project idea of a more "creative" nature.
Another side benefit for us is that accessing the lockers above the settee and also the storage area behind the settee upright cushions is much easier without the large table in the way.
