Please help me decide if this table will be worth it.

I have the third one, sewing and craft table. I've had it several years and it is very sturdy and my cats even jump onto the extension, big cats and it is still perfect. I leave it set up w/extension open.

Unless you HAVE to have it fold up, I'd find a less expensive one. A friend of mine got one of theses, and it was not as Sturdy as as she had hoped. I bet a used drop leaf table might work, if you need it to fold up.

I have the one pictured that doesn't have shelves under it; I've had it for over 2 yrs. It works really well and I put cubbies w/drawers under if for storeage.
By the way, I got mine on sale at JoAnns for a little over 100.

I have one that I found on craigslist similar to that. On the up side - I like that one better BECAUSE it has a shelf and the height is adjustable. On the down side I too think it is pricey.
Mine is stable for a work surface and was the perfect size for the large olfa mat. I used it a lot for cutting. I would not want to sew on it (just my opinion). I have retired mine as I am tall and needed more height. I went to Ikea and purchased a Formica table top and four adjustable legs for less than what that costs. My new setup however does not fold as the Walmart one does.
If you need it to fold - Joannes also has one - that is cheaper. This is like the one I have. It is currently as I post 50% off. Again no shelves - but you can purchase loads of plastic tubs for $150!!!

Got mine at Joanne's on sale for $59.99, no shelves but the same other wise. Have had it for about 12 years and it is still perfect. If you have a Joanne's near you just watch for a sale they still have them. and usually $69.99 to $79.99 today's dollars. And if you get a 20 off you entire purchase makes it even less. Just type in Joanne Fabric coupons and watch for extra savings.

I have this exact one. I got it for less than that price,I think around 179 at Hancock Fabrics on sale. It is pretty sturdy compared to the one without the shelves which I also had and I had to keep tightening the "screws" because I did have to move it a LOT. The only issue I am having with this one is where the bottom of the swing table leg attaches to the table(peg and hole) The peg keeps popping out . I haven't figured out a way to keep it in and it is very annoying because then the drop leaf loses its support. . The table still wiggles a lot more than I like even with the peg in right
My suggestion is.. If you can , <have the room, don't need a drop leaf, and are not moving constantly so the table can be in one place,> use the cabinet or table ideas. Something solid. For that price I am pretty sure you could get cabinets and put a top on or get the table top and adjustable legs. Much much better in my mind. It is what I will do if I can ever land permanately

I have one something like that -- bought it at JoAnn's. It really isn't that sturdy but is a good cutting table--I wish the height could be adjusted on it and it doesn't have the shelves. To make the top even at the joints I put potholders on top of the moving support legs.

The link has the Sullivans Adjustable Home Hobby Table listed at Walmart for $229.99 today.
I like the fact the height can be adjusted from 29'' to 38''. I like the shelves in the middle to store rulers, etc.
I would use it to cut fabric as well as move it by my sewing machine when quilting space is needed behind my sewing machine. It ships free to the house.
The one review gave it 5 stars. Has anyone used this table before. I appreciate your help. Thanks
