Why they didn't make it another inch?? I don't know what the tables are like that JoAnn's is now marketing but I certainly like the one I have.

I have a machine table for a sewing machine to sit on top. No hole for machine to sit in. We glued plywood on top, my large cutting mat fits with 1" all around. I had to put bed risers under the legs to make it higher. I am 5'-7". The shorter tables are nice but, too short for me. I sometimes cut or trim for hours.

I have two drop leaf cutting tables that I bought from JAs, again about 20 years ago.One is in my sewing room for cutting but only have one leaf up due to small size of my sewing room. Other one is in my living room with both leaves down, a quilt draped over the top. This one I use for pin basting my quilts.
Sometimes I use the kitchen island if DH feels he's being ignored for too long...lol.
