Your flat-pack cupboard is nice, but it fails my requirements on the "must pack as used" item. I suspect one key difference here is the relative number of events we haul stuff to. I'll typically average at least one medieval camping event per month, so I'm always looking for places to reduce packing and set-up time because that can end up being the deciding point in whether to go to a particular event. On the other hand, the Arthur Cupboard is one of the places I'm looking for inspiration for decoration. (I'm planning to do trompe l'oeil painting of wood-carving designs.)
I've posted photos of my trestle tables on facebook. We have a slightly different approach but I suspect they pack similarly. I'd be hesitant to do a multiple-plank top because I don't necessarily trust my dinner guests to respect the engineering differences from the sort of tables they're used to. I haven't yet had a dinner dumped to the ground because someone interacted with a table in disastrous fashion, but I've had some close calls.
I'll be blogging the dresser concept further. (I have a solid notion of what I'm going to do, and have all the supplies, but I haven't actually done the construction yet.)
