hobby table

My husband bought me a 6' folding table for our patio so I can have more space. I love it! I still need to get the bed risers for sandwiching my quilts, but it's so much nicer than working on just a TV tray! It bounces if I'm going really fast, but I don't go that fast, that often. Best of luck in your search!

Hi, read all of your comments, have one of the folding tables from walmart, not to happy with it sewing machine causes it to bounce! Have not tried the on at joanns. A few years ago got a ping-pong table on sale it folds up when not in use ( keep it outside on patio as it has a plastic cover, and the weather in south Texas has never caused a problem) Use it to baste quilts ,have lg. clamps to hold fabric in place.

I bought one of those tables years ago to use as a cutting table. When I upgraded to a new cutting table, I converted it into an ironing table and am still using it for that purpose. One of the roller feet came off but I never move the table, it stays open all the time for ironing, and the broken roller foot "sits" in position even though it's no longer welded it, and the table is stable. I think it was a pretty darn good investment.

I have the one from Joanne's and so does my Mom. I never noticed it wobbled, but then, I had it butting up against a wall. Got the plastic grid to go on top as well. I like the fact that you can leave it fully open, only half open, or fold down both sides to store it. I used got mine on sale at 50% off.

I have the table. My husband changed the casters out for ones that has rubber wheels and it works great. Does not move on me. Give me a great surface to work on. I use it for everything from pinning cutting and ironing. Love the table cause it folds down if I need more room. He got the casters at harbor freight for a couple bucks each.
occasional "slipping". I do use the table a lot. I have the cutting mat that fits over it and wouldn;t be without it.

I have this table in my sewing space. It's not super sturdy but it does work I've already mangled one of the coasters. With my lack of space this really was a good solution. It folds up neatly and doesn't take up to much space. With the half price coupon it also made it affordable.

I looked at it and read the reviews about the wobbly legs. While I was thinking about buying it, I found an older model formica topped 36" square kitchen table with (2) 12" leaves at the our local GoodWill store for $20.00. My re-invented cutting table is very sturdy,and if I want to, I can put my sewing machine on it. I wouldn't have been able to do that if I bought the one from Jo-Ann's. It fits just right beside my other 36x48 kitchen table that I bought for a sewing table.
