I had one made from an old bathroom cabinet. DH put it on wheels. It had a particle board top DH varnished. Then he hinged a piece to go on the back so it made a nice table when you pulled it all out. And it had storage.

I have had this table for about 2 years. It is okay. It is not as stable as I had hoped, but I really like that both sides can be up or down depending on need. I still like the island in my kitchen best. But the table is in my sewing room upstairs & it is not always convenient to come downstairs to cut.

I`m having back problems with the kitchen table (old one) that I have in my sewing room, so trying to save money, I`m going to get bed risers and hope it works. This table is not used for any thing but sewing.

I have two of them. I also got the ironing cover for one and that is handy for pressing big pieces. Thank goodness for 50% off coupons. One of my bestest buys

I have had mine for 8 - 9 years. Love it. Never drop the sides. I have the cutting mat that goes with it. I have also seen it with an ironing cover on it at a LQS.

I have 2 of the tables from Joann's the older one I have is not a stable and the newer on. The legs that hold the ends up is better on the newer one.

Same here!!! I love this table, My DH put it together for me... I helped and It was easier than I thought... a few of the pre- prepped holes were a bit off, but it is great to have... great Idea for the buffet for a group!!

I am on my second one. First one, husband ruined by leaving it out in the rain. Wouldn't be without. Love it and it is well worth every penny you have to pay. Go get it and enjoy!!!!! Make cutting a lot easier. Used to use it for my embroidery machine as well. Worked really well.

Yup, I have had mine for over 10 years. I might have even purchased it when it was about $60 on sale for $30.

Anyway, I have even used it as a spare buffet table when have large amounts of guests in my home.

Currently, have mine set up with only one side up in our second hallway. Some caution here though... on carpet the table legs stay where you put them. However, on hardwood type floors, one can easily bump an extention leg enough times to push it in far enough that the top begins to lean or drop. Ask me how I know! You only have to experience this once or twice and you get the hang of not doing it. Great concept and very useful. Too bad the price has gone up so high.
