I bought one about 4 years ago when I was doing my beading full time and love it. I now use it for a large ironing board for my quilting. I bought ironing board material and backing (2 yds each) and it fits perfectly and I use it when the quilt top is finished and I need to do a good pressing. I am lucky in that I have a cutting table which is heavier that I use for my cutting, etc. I have used the table with only half of the table up, or just sometimes the center with both sides folded down, so it is versatile. Think you would be happy with it.
