Custom trailmanor table?

My dinette table broke. The angled end snapped clean off when my nephew kneeled on it while the table was down in the bed configuration. Not really his fault. In my opinion its a poor design. I plan on making a custom one piece table with an adjustable post about 3' x 31". I was wondering if anyone else had every had their table break and if they had replaced it with something a bit stronger. If so pics would be great!
