Janie, I purchased a folding table from WalMart, that is made of white heavy duty plastic (I think), anyway it is like a table you would see at a community center or somewhere. The top is not slick, but not too rough for pinning or cutting, just textured. It is quite sturdy and I have had no trouble with it wobbling or anything. It is already put together in the box when you get it. When I bought mine there were two different sizes. I chose the largest one- I just measured it, and here are the demensions - 28" high, 72" long and 29" wide. I am thinking, I paid $50 or so for it. But it has definitely paid for itself. I do all of my cutting on it now, sure beats the floor for putting my mats down and cutting there. When I finish I can just fold it up and put it away, about 4-5" wide or thick I guess you would say when folded up, and 36" long or tall and of course 29 wide. It stores well.
