In my opinion the design looks rather kludged together. It looks like a Popular Mechanics home project.
There was a blonde wood Danish-style tiered table for the "briefcase" Seventeener that turned the set into a very cool looking mid-century console, so maybe there was aftermarket tables for the Predicta's too.

I'm fairly sure every predicta bubble top set had a swivel screen. That metal collar at the base of the top could swivel the screen side to side...it was the same on the 17" table sets and the 21" sets....the side arms that look like this should enable tilting the screen up and down are actually non-functional faux decorations on every predicta I've seen in person.
