I bought a table at Joanne's. I attached a picture here. When closed, the two fold down section are long enough to almost reach the floor leaving a 20 inch middle section, like a side board. you can push it up against a wall and it doesn't take up much space at all. It's not perfect, I've had it for a number of years and it is getting a little wobbly, but it is a perfect hight for me, and gives me the space I need when and where I need it.
