    I have had mine for about 10 years and love it. I use it all the time. I also got the full size cutting mat to go over it.

    I would second doing this search. The table I have is basically identical but DH purchased it from Keepsake Quilting a number of years ago. Quite sturdy. The concept of the table is wonderful. It folds to about 12" wide for getting out of the way when not in use or having the ability to use 1/2 the table if need be. It would be nice to be able to let it serve double duty for large meals, etc. by my sewing room is upstairs and there's no room in either my kitchen or DR to set it up anyhow. A girl can dream!

    I have one with the large cutting mat. Have had it for 5-6years. I love it and use it all the time--really saves the back. I also use mine for a buffet table during family gatherings.

    I got mine about 4 months ago and I love it! It is especially great if you don't have a lot of room because two sides have leaves that can be put up. When down, it isn't even 2 feet wide. It's sturdy and I love it!!

    I have 2 of them. One for my cutting table. I use it the same way cny_sewer39 uses her. The second one a friend is making a "big board" for it so I can use it, with both sides down, as my ironing table. Neat thing is that I can roll one or both out to my backyard or garage, open them all the way & do my basting on a nice large surface.

    I have had mine for 10 years. It is wonderful. I'm sure you will enjoy having the table space and to have it store in such a small area is a nice plus.

    I love mine and use it all the time. With both sides up I can hardly walk around it - but for large stuff it's wonderful. At Christmas it is great as gift wrap table.

    I've had one for about 3 years and I love it. Never thought to use it for a buffet table. Great idea!
