quilting cancy---would love to know the manufacturer of this table. Would work perfect for me. Can you share the maker of the table?

Do the sides absolutely need to fold down? I am sure you are seeing the "repurposing and bed riser" theme here. I use a kid-sized pool table (from Sears, I think), covered with a thick plywood and set on inverted clay pots AND bed risers. :) The most important part for me is that it's heavy and doesn't sway or move, even when set up very high. I thought I had mine high enough with just the clay pots -until I herniated a lumbar disk bending just slightly over it. So, for me, the big thing is stability at any height, and I would think that a folding table may be less likely for that.

Hugs,

I wish there was some sign of the manufacturer on my table but there isn't any. I bought it a a store named, Burdick's in Chula Vista, CA. It was on sale about 10 years ago for $350.00 (marked down from $400.00). My daughter talked me into it since it was the perfect height for me to use (I'm 5'9") and it folded up which I needed since I had not put in the Murphy bed in the sewing room yet. I was in there not too long ago and asked the owner if he ever gets them in and he said he quit selling them because they didn't move. A friend of mine wanted to buy one, but when I told her how much I paid for it she lost interest. But if you have a person that can build it, there isn't that much to it. I would be happy to take more detailed pictures of it and send it to you.

I found one more picture - it shows the front of it.

IKEA have a good table it folds down really small but is a good solid table. Sorry don't know how to post a link.

It may be helpful for you to read the many answers I received about a good cutting table.

I, too, have the table from JoAnn's and really like it. I don't find it to be flimsy but then I've had mine for several years and perhaps they have changed a bit?? Hmm. It folds down, eh? Mine is always up and full of "stuff". The only thing I wish was different--it needs to be another inch wider to fit the cutting mat. The height is perfect and very enjoyable.

QuiltingCandy, what a splendid table you have...Wesing, I almost purchased a Martelli when they were on sale but at the time, my contractors hadn't started my room addition so I am hoping they might go on sale again next fall or maybe pick one up at a show. In the meantime, I just use my dining room table. I am also interested in looking for a drafting table as Shortimer mentioned...

Wait until Martelli has a Redline Direct 50% off sale.....their workstations are wonderful......best cutting table/work station you can get.........

I currently have an old ping pong table on bed riser but I am building a new house and wanted my space to be nicer. Here is what I have gotten. I can't tell you what I think of it because it won't be opened up and set up until I move.
It is 31.5"Hx60"Wx40"D
