Mine is an old kitchen table measuring 30 inches. I think it is a bit low for me and I am 5'2" tall. Can you imagine what it would be like for a taller person. The idea of the risers is great get the mgrs to do it NOW! not only for your benefit, theirs too unless they are all shorties. I am thinking of asking DH to make some thing to raise it at least 4 inches.
