I have one and I love it. When we moved 8 years ago, we owned an older ping pong table and my husband was going to throw it away. I said I would like to keep half of it to use as a cutting table and put it down in the basement of the house we moved to, bought an overhead light and it works perfect for me. Mine remains there all the time. When not in use you should slip it under the bed so that it won't get out of shape and will be out of the way.
