I have one & I think it's great. No more back ache from bending over the dining room table.

Terrible! The legs dont stay inside the brackets and I think it's Too high or I'm too short. I got rid of it and DH made me one without wheels.

Get It. Lot's of good alternatives, but after the "some assembly required" it's great. I got the new one for the sewing room, which has the 4 side legs, and put the other one, (two side legs which only supported the center) in the auxiliary room. Sturdy, fold-able, and allows for customizable storage underneath. The other table had odd angles which compromised space. I got a padded ironing cover for it at Hancocks, which was also a good investment. I already had the cutting mat. A second model is also available, which has drawers in the center. It won't fold as compactly, but I never close it anyway. It is in the craft room for other fun projects. Also well worth the sale price.

I have one I bought about 4 or so years ago. It has the single swing out support leg. I have had to reinforce mine a couple of times and my brother just put bolts through the top to hold it . I think the ones they have now with the two swing legs on each side give more support. As soon as my brother gets done redoing the engine in his truck then fixing the other truck , working on the beams under the house yadayadayada. LOL He is going to build me a solid wood cutting table based on the same design. Only with storage in the middle. Of course I may be so feeble by then it won't be required. LOL

It leans against the wall on the table so when I need to press all I have to do is lay it down. When I need to cut I lean it back against the wall.


Oh to have the space!!!!

I agree, Kappy!!! :-( Wouldn't you just love to be able to do that??!! :wink:

I have one also. And love it. I use it for a tun of things including a buffet table while folded and covered with a fancy table cloth. :thumbup:

I have one too and love it. I found it was wobbly recently and my son discovered that the screws were loose. Use the tool that comes with the assembly instructions to tighten it and it will be much better.

I have one for many years and I would be completely lost without it. I find it to be the most valuable thing in the sewing room except for my sewing machine.
