Table/Worktop and sofa bed - Starting to look finished!

So we have now bought and placed inside a sofa bed, it cost £120 from eBay, and it looks awesome with the union jack on it! I had to reinforce the bottom as it was fairly cheap, and replace the factory legs as they weren't tall enough to get over the wheel arches. The legs cost £3.28 each from B&Q, and I bought six, so three each side. Along with the reinforcing wood, they were the perfect height for the arches without arch covers on. Yes, its a bit caveman, when we want the bed we have to drag the sofa out a little bit, and fold it down. But it fits perfectly, no space is wasted over the arch, and when used as a sofa, there is storage space behind for a couple of camping chairs, that will go under the bed once made. I will be bungeeing the bed too, so it will stay in place and is more secure, but will be stretchy enough so we can fold it into the bed and back into a sofa again. I then set about making a table worktop, with the intention of maybe eventually cutting a hole
