I did not consider my coach to have a "flat floor" slide out, but it was said that mine is a flat floor.
Mine has a ledge - and the dining chair (when a person of normal size is using it) sits with two legs on the high side (slide room floor) and two legs on the coach floor - so it sits uneven (there is about a two inch difference in floor heights). I have to move the chair out so it's facing the window when I eat (so all the legs are level).
Just a minor gripe. But I thought a "flat floor" would be truly flat. Is this the best it gets? Or do some models have a truly flat floor.

Mine is the exact same way.

Mine is considered a flush floor I assuming the same as yours. I have plenty of room to sit facing forward or aft. My slide on the drivers side is 31 inches deep. Plenty of room.

Well --- you're thinner than me. ::)

Well thank you! I think.

I sit at the kitchen table facing forward on the street side. Our slide is also 31 inches and the chair fits with a little room to spare. I'm 6'3", 220 lbs. I can still slide in to the seat pretty easy. Don't think I could if I gained a few pounds. The chair is on level surface.

I think the problem is the chair. ::)
My wife bought them (the ones in the photo) as the chairs that where in the coach when we bought it were not original and not so nice looking (in her opinion). But the new chairs have more arch at the back which moves the seat closer to the table, and I think they are a little wider at the base.
I did discover (by accident) that the table top can slide sideways in it's wall mount (very cleaver Beaver). So I pushed it all the way to my wife's side (good thing she is thin).
Anyways, I posted about whether or not my slide was considered a flat-floor slide or not. And now I'm off griping about the chairs.
My original question has been answered.

Ours goes out and site flat ish! perhaps half an inch difference. Our chairs have the foot on one side only.

It looks like the chair(s) you’re using have a wider stance than what’s usual in these coaches. Our main (streetside living) slide goes out and drops at the end, so the slide carpet just covers the joint and overlaps the main tile and carpet area. The overlap is the only elevation difference, as Keith notes.
Only when the slide is in could there be much of a chair problem, but it’s mute because a chair still sits fully on the slide carpet as needed. The other slides sit on box frames (sofa base and galley cabinetry, bedroom wardrobe, etc.) and as I recall do not need to drop at the end.
