I also have Lifetime tables. The legs do look something like ironing board legs, although they are offset toward one side of the table. My legs (& I have long legs) fit just fine at the 24" height. The advantagle of the SewEzi table is the the surface of the table is even with the surface of the machine, making the whole table the sewing space. With the Lifetime table, the machine extension is the sewing space. Most acrylic machine extension tables will not fit on top of the Lifetime table. The SewEzi table is more stable, less movement. Another advantage is one of the inserts is clear solid and can be used as a light table. The Lifetime table is a very good size for cutting mat and/or iron mat. I also use them as extra table for a gathering of people to have small table by their chair.
