If your tabletop is sliding, then the two hinges are not in position correctly. They act like stops to prevent the table from sliding. If you cannot raise the hinges into their "home" positions you must move the table top slightly in either direction until the hinges can move into position. Then they will prevent movement.

With the hinges down and out of position, the sliding table top allows extra room for you to enter or exit on one side at a time. Make sure you don't hurt whomever is on the other side. It's kinda clever and helps mostly when the table with four chairs is fully populated and there's one or two larger people seated down. Just another convenience besides moving the chairs while in cramped corners.
