Need Help...Removing Dinette

I have a 2013 Bay Star 3012 and want to remove the dinette. Removed the table with no issues, but can't figure out how the booth seats are attached. We've removed every visible screw but the booths are still firmly attached somehow. Does anyone know how to remove??

I took the booth seats out of my 2014 Dutch Star two months ago and I was amazed at how they were held in. My booth seats had the drawers in the bottom. I removed the drawers and there were just four drywall screws driven through the frame into the floor. That was the only thing holding mine down. It sounds like yours may be different.

My booths did separate into two pieces (backs from the bottoms). They used bolts to hold them together, but their was one hidden screw under the material.

perhaps a few pics might help us help you.

you may have removed screws from cleats that were also glued. now it's the glue holding the unit, not some hidden screw.

Look at the square strips against the wall may still have screws into the interior wall metal studs.

Figured out!

I have the booths that have drawers as well. After a little poking around, we found that the bottom interior of the booths had false panels that were stapled in that we had to pry out.

Did you ever get any info on removing your dinette? I have a 2013 Bay Star 2901 and the dinette is useless, just wasted space. Want to replace with a bistro set and cabinets, but cannot figure out how to get the booths out. Removing the table is easy. Do you have any info on this?
