I have one of the tables from Joanns. At present it is piled three feet high almost all over with fabric for my Linus quilts. I haven't been able to fold it up for several years as it is also piled high underneath. It is a great place to store things under if you have the room to leave it open. The table is well worth the money as it is the right height for your back unless you are very tall or very short. Because you can fold it up entirely or use it half open it allows you to use it in a smaller space and then get it out of the way if necessary. Since mine is loaded I made myself another cutting/ironing station out of a rolling kitchen island I got at Ollie's Discount store. It has a large drawer and open shelves under it that work great for more of my junk. I made an ironing surface for it out of a 1/4 square piece of plywood I had cut for me at Lowe's. I covered it with batting and metalic fabric used in ironingboard covers. I glued strips of 2" by 2"firing strips on the underside of it to make it stable on the table top. I can remove the ironing surface if I want but I usually just throw a cutting mat on top of it when I need to cut stuff. In the room where I actully sew I have what was once a tallboy dresser that I cut the legs off of. It makes a great 20x34 inch surface to do trimming, cutting blocks or with the addition of a small ironing matt a pressing surface at just the right height. The older I get the more important it is that I don't have to bend over to much when pressing or cutting.
