When we moved into our new house hubby made it a priority to set up my new sewing room first. For a table he used a sheet of 3/4 inch plywood, covered with mactac (remember that stuff) and added edging to finish it off. He placed this on two sawhorses bought at Homedepot. I had my doubts but it did turn out really good. Table is right height for me I am 5/1. The foot pedal is up on a box.
