I got my bed risers at Goodwill for about $3. Bed risers come in 2 heights that I know of 3" and 5". I have the 5 inchers. Work great.

I have the pvc on mine and the table is very sturdy. Mine is raised up 12 inches and there is no wobble at all. The pvc my hubby used is inch and a half and very sturdy.

Would the PVC work if you wanted to lower a table? ie: cut off the legs and use pvc to cover the cut end? My banquet tables (heavy duty) make wonderful sewing tables but they are too tall since my machine has to sit on top and would like to have the table a little shorter.

Best thing I've every had ... get some PCV piping cut about 12" (or however much you want to raise tables).
Place each leg in pipe (make sure you get large enough pipe to accommodate 'foot' at the end of the legs. This works great on our tables at church and stored using very little space. Best solution I've found because I can tailor it to the exact height I want! Peggy in Fla |
We use 2 methods of raising tables to the preferred height: 1 : Find large coffee cans and fill to the desired height with redimix concrete. Allow to harden. Then, just set the table legs down on the concrete. The weight of the cans will make them very sturdy.
2: Buy PVC pipe wide enough for your table legs. Cut the pipe square across the bottom. Tape the 4 pieces of PVC pipe together. Mark the spot to drill. Drill a hole the same height in them. Put a stove bolt through the holes and fasten a nut on the side. Put 2 holes in the pipe if more than one person needs to use the table. If the PVC pipe is large, it will be very stable as you work around the table. Hope this helps. |

He made these tall ones for standing up pinning or cutting. He made short ones to place the table top level with my sewing machine table. I just choose the ones I want. |
