RockyMonterey

I just bought a 2004 monterey 322. I would like to convert the dinette into a berth with the extra cushions but can't figure out how. The guy I bought it from said to use a short pole for the table to lower it and put the cushions on top but that doesn't work. The table overhangs the booth seating so it won't drop down to create a platform for the cushions. Could someone explain how to convert from dinette to berth?
