I would second doing this search. The table I have is basically identical but DH purchased it from Keepsake Quilting a number of years ago. Quite sturdy. The concept of the table is wonderful. It folds to about 12" wide for getting out of the way when not in use or having the ability to use 1/2 the table if need be. It would be nice to be able to let it serve double duty for large meals, etc. by my sewing room is upstairs and there's no room in either my kitchen or DR to set it up anyhow. A girl can dream!
