Some people get the bed risers and put them under the feet. You can also use old gallon paint cans or LARGE fruit or vegetable cans!!

My hubby cut me 12" pvc white plastic pipe and I lift each leg and slide them on. Works great. Depends on the type of legs you ahve though. Mine are regular table you can fold in half and tote. We have Project Linus meetings twice a month adn use these on the cutting tables. Saves the backs.

We have 9 tables using PVC legs at our Project Linus "clubhouse". We also take them with us to our winter retreat. Great help.

The Walmart bedrisers work great! I use a folding banquet table on top of them for my cutting area. I had a cutting mat custom made to fit the top of it.

The bed risers are great, but I found mine cheaper at Bed Bath and Beyond for only $9.00!

I'll just add one thing. The bed risers work great if that is the height you need. My sis is shorter so her husband took pieces of 4x4 lumber cut them to the height she needed plus an inch or two and than routed out a hole in the middle for the legs to set in. Custom risers.

Need a handy hubby though!
