Note, we are not talking about swiveling the tabletop, which is now a feature on some tables or others have added this ability to rotate the tabletop as needed. The feature we are referring to is when the table is in the perpendicular position and one wants to slide the table left or right to make it easier to egress from the one side or the other. The hinges lock the tabletop to stop it from being able to do this and keep it steady especially when sliding.
I'm not sure how good this might work if you rotate the tabletop then slide it in either direction, too but it sounds like this is what BB_TX has done. I guess that would be the best in flexibility. For now, my tabletop is mostly perpendicular to the wall and I can release the hinges to widen the gap on either side at a time. Mine doesn't rotate.
