I have the sewing table with the pullout addition that holds the sewing machine. I love it! Edie

I have a very old one & it is very sturdy - not wobbly at all

Mine is about a year old, not on carpet, and it very very sturdy. I have no issues with it at all and I love it.

I was thinking of purchasing this table a few years ago. I found some reviews of this table, and a overwhelming percentage of the purchasers said the same thing you did. The table was so wobbly they couldn't use it for cutting. So no, you are not the only one.

I have had mine about a year now. I do have it on carpet but I love it. Have you checked to see if your "brakes" are on the wheels and are locked? I don't know what I would do without mine.

I have had mine for several years. My problem is I am 5'9" tall and the table was supposed to be 36" high and mine is only 34 1/2 high. Wish I could replace it but with my age (82) would I ever wear it out?? LOL

I have one too, and mine is also on carpet, and it has breaks. it's not wobbley at all. I bought mine a long time ago, before there the coupons were popular with Joanne's, but I did get it at 50% off. Someone said maybe it's the new ones that are more wobbly than they used to be.

Mine was wobbly as well. I finally bought the white quilting table they offer, white with a fold out shelf plus it has drawers. I thought the top of that was a cutting mat since it's all ruled out like one but it isn't. I was disappointed that my large cutting mat is too big for it but still, it's so much more secure then the fold up one and this one does fold into a compact little unit when needed.

Mine too was extremely wobbly - impossible to cut fabric on it. We inspected it over and over and all seemed intact. One day a friend was over and asked him to take a look. With his eagle eyes he discovered the welded joints were cracked. Just so happened that the next week we were having a new iron gate installed and I spotted that the guys were doing some welding. Aha! I asked them if they could fix my table. Sure can! Its been fine ever since several years ago. Takes some real close looking to see the problem and in a place I never suspected.
