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

I have the one without the shelves, have had it for years. Love it. I use it for all my paper crafting (and some sewing). I, too, have the cutting mat that fits the top and one year for Christmas got the ironing pad but haven't used that yet.

http://www.walmart.com/ip/Sullivans-...Specifications
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

years.....when I did my sewing room over 2 years ago....purchased a used kitchen island on Craigs list...it is the
perfect height for cutting...made an ironing board to put on top when needed that makes it easy to iron yardage and has storage drawers and doors that can be used for Sissix dies etc. We hung white pegboard on the wall for
storage of rulers,sissors,rotary cutters etc.....works very well for me

I, too, have an older JoAnn's model, pd $100 and love it. Stable, with no shelves, underneath, but I store batting and a lifetime of "round tuit or dreaming of getting done" quilt kits waiting to be done under neath, so I can't see paying that kind of price just to get that one little bitty shelf. Check out JoAnns - they also will return at a store, if it was purchased on-line. Our Joanns has this table in stock - just saw it.
As for an extension behind your sewing machine - DH (who is not a carpenter) bought me a 4' countertop at Lowes, screwed 4 legs on with casters and it works great. Total cost $60. Might check out Habitat "Restore" I love that place. If its not there today, it will be next week - jusst keep checking back.
Bottom line - Walmart is great, but this time, way overpriced!

If you pay more than 80 bucks for that table, you have paid too much. Check the sales at Joann and Hancock. I got mine from Hancock for 79 dollars. I have not taken it out of the box because I am trying to determine if I want to keep it or not. If is is wiggly, I do not want to keep it. I just want it to cut on. If someone has the table above without the shelving underneath. Tell me how you like it. I have about two weeks before I can take it back.

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!!!

If you are concerned about stability why not have your husband make you a table.I know my husband could look at the picture and duplicate. I found this one but I know there are other models out there.

I really like this table and the plans are all there. Now I will ask around to see the cost involved in having one made. Neither me or my husband are good with wood projects. Thanks for the link.

And, here is a build-it-yourself table with fold down leaves that is also mentioned in one of the comments.
