Wall-mounted, folding tables

Hey guys - I'm looking for some advice. The galley kitchen in my house is absolutely tiny, with almost next to nothing in the way of worktop space. After I had it completely renovated five years or so ago, I installed one of the small wall-mounted tables from Ikea which has been great, but now I'm starting to think that I'd like a bigger one.

The problem, of course, is that after a fairly exhaustive Google search, it would seem that they're all around the same size and I'm looking for one that's around 150cm long and folds out to around 60cm, with a drop-leaf so I've got a shelf for things when it's not in use.

Does anyone know of anywhere that would sell such a thing for a reasonable price? If not, I might need to start thinking about making my own one!

    OP, you should make your own - get a bit of decent wood and you could use the existing fittings if they are strong enough.

    Make your own. Hafele brackets available from any decent ironmonger.
