I have this table as well except DH bought it from Keepsake Quilting years ago. Love this table. I have a large mat on one end and towels folded over on the other so I can use it for both cutting and ironing. I also pin/thread baste my quilts on it. Easy to use the big binder clips on the edges for holding everything securely. And definitely handy for the gift wrapping!

I have it and it wobbles and sways some. Thought it was because I have it on carpet. I love the ability to fold up and down. Was going to have my husband take the top and build a cabinet under it but maybe I'll just have him try changing out the casters first! Thanks for the thread and the ideas. Boy I love this board!

I bought one here in Australia called Sullivan's Hobby Table, I also had one castor that kept falling out, was very unstable, sewing room floor is carpet. I had one side down and had a FW on the other side, it only needed a slight bump to topple over, luckily the carpet prevented damage to the machine! I pulled it to pieces and now use one section laid over a small kitchen island on wheels to cut fabric. It was not as good as the Horn Table, which sadly was lost in the flood 2 years ago.

I have lots of folding tables. For cutting DH cut pvc pipe to put on legs of the table raising it to counter height. I can put two or more tables together to make a very large work surface. The tables fold in half and easy to move and store. I got them at Lowes, the ones at Walmart are not as sturdy.

I have this table. Supposedly the casters lock but ... note I said "supposedly." Had to push it up against the wall of my sewing room to keep it from moving. Got a new cutting table and now roll this one out just for sandwiching my quilts.
