I also have my 301 on that table, so when I'm not using my Ellegante I can use it there. I have about 6 feet to work with here.
I have an old wooden conference table that a local bank was getting rid of. It's a bit scratched on the top, but when you put cutting mats over it - it works fine. Very sturdy. You could check out yard sales for a table and put inexpensive laminate on top if you had to.
I've looked at the thrift store for a old desk, table or sewing machine cabinet, but nothing there and we only have one thrift store.

Does anyone have any ideas? I desperately need help as I don't want it to fall or shake off (yes it get to shaking and scares the bejeepers out of me).

Thank you for any ideas...
