I am always amazed at how resourceful you guys are!!! Deemail - can you post a picture? I have trouble making my own picture in my head. Guess that would make me spatially challenged? But it sounds like a very workable solution. Should get my dh to read descriptions (or even my son). Then I could get them to draw me pictures - because I have trouble seeing it without the visual.
AnitaSt - loved your pictures of your updated table. I had seen the foam board idea on YouTube. I like yours even better as you took care of the loose ends having the potential to cause problems. Also like that you can move it in one piece and not worry about the stacks sliding apart.
Looks like I need to pick one of these nifty ideas, commit - and go find the materials!!
Will also have to check out Eleanor Burn's website for converting a regular table to a sewing table. Was just telling my dh this morning that I would like it if he could put me something together.
