Hi Tonny , I cut down size I now have 30 5/8 X 30 1/4 . I cut back end so my table will swivel all around . I cut the front off and am using that piece for my removable counter in front of my sink . I cut my pieces off with my table saw after I pulled the t-moulding off out of the way for the cuts . I have reinstalled the Escape slide which I also cut down . I can turn table around and slide will go back to front . Put table back in it's orignal position and table will slide side to side . I put the t-moulding back on . You might need to glue or tack a small nail to hold the ends . I have since purchased black t-moulding and will eventually change out all my t-moulding to the black . I have to put my table down every night to put my all of 30 lbs, 3 dogs, in a nylon kennel for them to sleep . I purchased my T-moulding from Rockler . You can cut the table with any saw . Put blue tape where you are cutting . When I lower my table my back shelf fills in where I cut back end off . I cut the front part of table off to make easier to get in or out even though you can slide your table over . Hope this helps . Pat
