That what I have. I took a 4 ft folding and raised it up. It was easy enough I did it myself. Well expect cutting the PVC pipe. I had the very kind gentleman at Home Depot do that for me when he was puzzling over why I was trying to do. Here's a photo of it. He also suggested the caps, he wanted me to glue them on. But they are such a snug fit, I've never had a problem with them coming off. One of the things you can't see well is the nut and bolt system that goes through each leg to support the tables legs inside the PVC. You measure up, or down, the leg and drill a hole for the nut and bolt.
Now this looks like a perfect solution. We need a company that will come up with some adjustable legs on a good cutting table.
I have a table with adjustable legs. It isn't as large as a banquet table but it's as big as I can have in my spare room. It has three different heights and I lower it if I am doing hand sewing and want to have the area to organize the process. I use it for almost all my cutting. My dining table is much larger but it gets my back if I cut on it. I got mine at Sams and have thought of getting another and keep one up and one to desk height.
