I think the one I have is like what they have at Joanne's. It is great for me--I have a bad back, too. I'm 5'1" and the height is perfect but it's also perfect for my daughter who is 5'5", so she got one for herself. The leaves fold down, and it doesnt't take much space when not in use. I love the fact that it has casters and you can roll it around wherever you want to.
