Joe- If you are talking about the side folding tables to the aft of the settees, then they have a u shaped crome metal bar that holds them up. When raised this bar is at a 45 degree angle. The arm folds up under the tables when you want them in down position. There is a white plastic piece(maybe "star board" or similar) that it kind of clips into to keep them in raised position. The tables themsleves also have a hinge at the top. Hope this helps.
