The JA table is fine, but you need to be aware that the table is made from particle board and I believe screwed together. I have purchased two. One for myself and one for my daughter. The one for my daughter was purchased a few years back and it had a middle section with a shelf (two shelves, I think) to put 'stuff', 'stash', etc on it. My daughter put her machine on it. Eventually from moving it about one of the wheels broke. She has two kids and doesn't keep it up all the time so it is continually being folded down and up again when she uses it which will put strain on the screws area and you have to be careful when it comes to particle board as it will become loose and could break. Particle board is ok if you don't move it about, but she has no dedicated sewing room so the family room is where she sews when she needs to. I think the table is fine so long as you take care when rolling it about, the corners are sharp and if it should catch on a rug or something that could cause it to fall, those corners will do some major damage (and I'm thinking kids!) I wouldn't want my grandkids to have that table corner fall on them! She is aware of this. And the one great feature is that it does fold down. The table is worth getting if you don't have the room to keep it up all the time or if you don't plan on having a permanent table set up and it does come in handy, I use mine all the time.
