Please help me decide if this table will be worth it.

Copycat I own something like this it has a shelf on the bottom, I do not know if this one will be as strong as mine. I do like that you can adjust the hight. If you can return it with not problem if it does not work I say try it. happy quilting yippie

The link has the Sullivans Adjustable Home Hobby Table listed at Walmart for $229.99 today.
I like the fact the height can be adjusted from 29'' to 38''. I like the shelves in the middle to store rulers, etc.
I would use it to cut fabric as well as move it by my sewing machine when quilting space is needed behind my sewing machine. It ships free to the house.
The one review gave it 5 stars. Has anyone used this table before. I appreciate your help. Thanks

Looks flimsy to me as well. I would check the resale shops for a wooden table, which will probably be cheaper.
This table only weighs 72 pounds, doesn't sound like much for a table 59 inches long. Looks like the shelves would be hard to get to, as far as pulling fabric in and out.

I love mine from Joann's. It sits on a rug so it doesn't wobble or move around. I have leaned on it, but then I have to move it because it sinks into the rug and isn't quite level. The difference in the leveling is not enough to hinder my cutting. I also bought the cutting mat that fits on the top of it and it is great, the whole surface can be used for cutting. I also bought the ironing cover so I can easily iron finished quilt tops without having to keep moving them across the ironing board or dragging on the floor.
The thing I love most is that it folds away which is necessary because I cannot have a dedicated sewing room.

I have this one as well, I've had it for over 10 years, I used it as a cutting table and now use it as my ironing table. I think the table you saw is pretty pricey too, but it does look sturdier than mine although mine has held up well. I would look for a used table as well. I bought my cutting table used from my dealer when he was updating the products in his store.

I have one something like that -- bought it at JoAnn's. It really isn't that sturdy but is a good cutting table--I wish the height could be adjusted on it and it doesn't have the shelves. To make the top even at the joints I put potholders on top of the moving support legs.

I got a six ft. table at Sam's Club ( you can get 8ft if you have space) and got the leg extenders that you put on bed legs to raise the height for half the price. When I need my table for other things I just take it off the extenders and move it where ever it is needed.

I almost bought this table too. Keep an eye out at Joann's, as they put it on sale at 50% off every few months. I ended up buying this one instead:

So far so good. I've only had it a couple weeks. I wish it had more storage though.
