    Good Stuff.

    Nice idea on the hinged side wing.

    Try a carpet place for a remnant that's a little bigger than your platform. if you search and get lucky should be able to find a really nice piece in the color you want.

    I cheated i got mine off a job site. good thing too that stuff was expensive.
