Looking for ideas/solutions

I may have asked this before; if so, apologies but if I
did ask I
didn't get solutions that worked for me.
I need to build a pair of sofa tables to wrap around a
sectional; ie,
the tables will be at right angles to each other. The
distance along
the long wing of the sectional is ten feet. I plan to
make the
tables about 16" wide and 28" tall.
My problem lies in where the tables will meet..they will
have to be
moved occasionally for cleaning/whatever so I need for
them to be
firmly joined but easily separated. I'm thinking of
reducing the
length of the tables themselves by 16" each and using a
third piece
at the juncture, 16" square and full width sides rather
than separate
legs (like a cabinet), but how to hook the whole works
together?
I could, of course, simply screw each long table to the
16" square
one but I'm looking for a more elegant way...one that
doesn't make
holes in the nice, expensive mahogany I'll be using. I
also thought
of putting a bracket on the 16" square table - I don't
mind marring
it - that would hook under the adjacent end rails of the
long tables;
with that scenario, each long table would only have legs
at the
outboard end. That could work but would leave the inboard
end of the
long tables unsupported when they are unattached; still,
that's the
best solution I've come up with yet.
Other ideas?
would this work?
