I love this idea. I have the bed risers sitting in my sewing room. Thanks for posting the picture.

I did the same thing to my cutting table, which is also a folding table. It really makes a difference in how my back feels. I can cut for a long time now and not have that achy feeling. Thanks for sharing.

You can also use plastic "freebie" cups turned upside down for a quick fix. Had my husband "build" blocks for my table years ago. He just glued pieces of 2x4's together until he got the height right. Really saves the back.

Where can you purchase red risers? I know you were lucky to find them at a Thrift Store.
