I also utilized the 6 ft. tables - have 4 - use 1 for storage of normal basement stuff and leave the other 3 next to each other for putting a quilt together or any other large job requiring a large working space. I just throw an old queen sheet over the top to keep it clean and I have a really large cutting mat that I can leave open so it is nice and flat when I need it. These tables are truly great for a number of jobs.
