One thing I can add...I'm tall-ish, about 5'10", and any method I use that involves bending over a table gives me bad back pain. I bought some bed risers from Joanne's, 4 for $10, and put the table legs on top of the risers. It raised the table about 5 or 6 inches and was a perfect height for me! No more back pain!
Right now with back to school sales going on, you can find the bed risers pretty easily.
