IF you have the means to invest. JoAnn's has a really neat table. Try to get a 50% discout coupon before you buy it. I've had mine for a few years now, use it for lots of things. I use yarn for my quilts, so I bought a higher chair to fit the JoAnn;s table and I can sit and tie. The table folds down to almost nothing when finished. Is in white. You could cover it and stick in front of window with plant on top when not in use. Just one idea. I also have a lot of back problems, so for me no matter what size the table is I will have difficulty. Like pjmarie says get it done in one day, in between a cup of coffee or tea. Good luck
