Great find! I have three with my Berninas on them in my bedroom. I love them. Two, I purchased in 1979 with two new
830 Records. The third one was given to me by a friend and I use it for a newer 1005 Bernina. I make lots of charity quilts. I piece with my personal best 830 Record and then go to the 1005 where I have my walking foot to finish the quilt. The other machine is used to take to meetings or other sewing I am doing. The folding tables are wonderful and don't take up much room. I have used them for over 30 years and couldn't do without them. I never thought of folding one up and taking it to class. That would be an option if necessary, but so far, I haven't done that.

I have exactly this very table - it was my mom's purchase well over 40 years ago from the J.C. Penney catalogue. I use it daily and would NEVER part with it! I seem to remember my mom paying around $40 for it brand new - you have a treasure there!! Enjoy!!

A few of the ladies in my guild are green with envy over it. I can not tell you how happy I am to have bought it. I'm still trying to figure out how to use it all the time in my craft room. I'll figure it out - or just cut a hole and make a recessed sewing table for my Juki. I'm going to have to do some serious furniture rearranging in here. I've got a wall of super sturdy table desks. This sewing table is just a bit too short in depth to fit as is but I've got a few ideas and tricks up my sleeves to make it work. My Juki fits in this table perfectly too - I was worried that it wouldn't considering it is a 9" throat machine but it fits almost as if it was made for it. It's like my sewing machine has its own personal bed to snuggle up in
