My DH and I did it. It turned out great. I had to drag him to the hardware store, and it took a lot of convincing, but he thought it was pretty cool when finished. The legs are all the same length and I would just put something under the one side to elevate it a bit so it was easier to reach the area I was working on. I quilted my first queen size quilt on it. I also have a small square plastic one that I use for smaller projects. I kept looking at the ones on Ebay and they looked pretty simple. I think we made mine for about $35.
