I have bought three of the tables and also the matching mats. The mats I've used at home as well as at the shop and I have not had a problem with them curling (I've probably gone through a half-dozen mats). The tables are just for use at the shop. We set them up, and leave them in place; we never move them around or fold & unfold them.

One has fallen apart unfixably; the others are all propped up with stuff under the casters (which tend to fall out); the one I use is about to fall apart. I was just crawling under it this morning trying to figure out what part has gone missing this time.

And - mind you - these are not our main cutting tables. Our big cutting table is actually a piece of plywood atop four identical double-wide three-drawer file cabinets. Very sturdy indeed! And the drawers are useful for holding pre-cuts. Our second cutting table is a very old but solid kitchen table up on blocks.

The tables from JoAnn's are affordable and space-saving but I have not found them to be durable.

I love mine. I actually got it used for $20. I use it as my cutting table and to baste my quilts. I spray baste and the large binder clips work perfectly. It is a little wobbly. I just put my pattern case against it and it is fine.

Have two! Use them for cutting and basting!

I have had mine for years and absolutely love it. I also have the cutting matt that fits the table. The table is great for wrapping presents, using the rotary cutter for wrapping paper makes the edges nice and neat. The table is perfect height.

I have one similar and have one side up right now with a suitcase on top of it because I'm packing for a quilting retreat next weekend!

Normally I keep it folded down till I need to use it. It does not take up much space when folded down and is a nice big surface when it's up. They seem to have made the legs more sturdy than the one I got, which is nice to see, because mine can be a little wobbly if I'm not careful. I also have the mat that fits on top of it. When the table is collapsed down, I hang my cutting mat behind a door (hubby put holes in the mat, and put nails in the studs behind the door to hang it on).

I definitely recommend getting this table. :thumbup:

I have had this table for several years. I remember getting it for myself for Mother's day one year. I love it and use it daily. I even have a ironing mat that fits the entire table.
It make one BIG ironing surface. I will offer one word of warning. This table attracts crap to it. If you are not careful piles of crap will be dumped on this lovely surface.

I bought mine years ago too and still using it. I got a bigger cutting table so purchased a custom ironing board cover for the Joanns table and now it's a huge ironing board which is GREAT!! If I need an extra cutting surface, I just throw a cutting mat on it and use it for that too.

I have this table and love it. It is just the right height for me for cutting. I don't have to bend over at all. Sure helps the old back.

I bought two of them. One for a cutting table. The second one a friend is going to make an ironing board top for. When I have a large quilt to layout & baste I can pull the board off, roll the 2 tables out and put up as many of the sides as I need. In the meantime they are 36x18 and not taking up too much room.
