Had it in the shop and they say nothing to be done except using outside supports?
Is this a known issue?
Design flaw?

Thx
The slide floors in these HC models are flimsy at best. I changed our dining table to hang on the wall with a leg to the inside of the slide so it is much more stable and not affected by movement in the slide. With that done the flimsy floor is much less noticeable. Ours has 2 rollers under it on the outer edges. I've thought about adding a couple more to support the slide in the middle as well but the floor would still flex in the middle. I've experimented with 2x6's and supports under the middle. They work quite well but are a pain to set up.

Sorry, no real solutions but commiserating with the issue. We've made the best of it and stabilizing the table was the biggest help.
