Summary:A meal table assembly (122) readily adaptable for use with various oblique seat installations. The meal table assembly (122) installs on a seat-side console (104), stows openly against a fuselage wall or aircraft centerline, rotates to a deployed position, and further deploys to an expanded condition. In embodiments, the meal table (122) is bi-fold and includes at least one of vertical and fore/aft adjustment. The meal table assembly according to the present disclosure provides a large usable table size, usability when stowed, reduced weight/cost, increased rigidity, less design variation within the overall seating platform, and ability to stow partially for increased ingress/egress clearance.
