They just don't look really stable to me. A few years back my husband was in our local Big Lots store and saw a bistro table - the absolute perfect height for me when I am cutting. It is 50 inches square and is the perfect height for me when cutting. Best of all, it was on sale for $100, and I had one of those Big Lots 20% off coupons, so I got it for $80.00 plus tax. It is very, very heavy - it had to go up the stairs a piece at a time, but it was a snap to put together, and it is totally, totally sturdy. It's actually one of the best "sewing room" purchases I have ever made!!!
