    Yes, I have it and I really do like it other than sometimes it tends to be a
    little shaky, could be I didn't put it together tight enough. I LOVE the cutting mat. I got all of mine last year at JoAnn's 50% off sale. I am 5'8" and it's perfect hght. I also was lucky enough to find a cushioned bar stool with a back that I use at it and have a regular stool on the other side
    if someone else is working with me. I also have an 8 ft. table to put my quilts together on plus a sewing cabinet for one machine and a sewing table for the other one and then all my shelves for material. Now if everything was neatly organized it would be perfect.

    The table looks great and a really good price. If you ever have access to a ping pong table, it is great for a cutting surface!. I bought mine at a yard sale for $20. and keep it in my basement. I can cut and do not have to worry about the cutting mess. I put a cutting mat that came from Joanns on it and use the other end for assembling. Just a suggestion. Happy quilting! :)

    I have this table too, and I love it. It measures about five inches higher than my dining room table, and is a perfect cutting height ... no leaning over at all. I'm short, only 5'2, but my sister who is about 5'7 has the same table and finds it to be a good height for her as well. Go for it ... you will love it!

    My theory about buying things now a days is when in doubt, BUY it! Especially when it is on a great sale. Most stores have generous return policies. That is what I would check. You can probably buy the table, take it home, open it up, try it out, and then return it if the table doesn't work for you. It won't hurt the table, and the stores are usually more than happy to accept your returns. They want you to be a happy customer. Then they can sell it to someone else it may be a better fit for.

    I've found that too many times in the past,t by the time I finally decide, the sale is gone. Now I always buy first, and stew about it with the item sitting in my home. I'm amazed at what I really end up loving, and what I decide I really didn't need just by having the box sitiing on my counter. Happy shopping!

    I to am only 5 foot, but never thought to use a step stool. :oops: I gave it to my daughter who is 5'6" and she loves it after her hubby reinforced it.

    lol Liz

    Hi, I have this table and really like it. I have a small room to sew in so the fact that if folded was my reason for getting it. I have a very bad back and have no problems with it. I am 5' 6" and I thought it might not stand high enough, but now that I have used it for awhile, my back has not complained yet.

    I have 2 of these tables and love them. I am 5'2" and
    I don't have any problems or feel any strain from them.
    I really like the fact that they close up to about 1 foot.

    I have had this table for 3 or 4 years and I love it. Perfect height for cutting and pinning. You can use half or all of it. It rolls from room to room and folds down to barely inches if you want it out of the way. I have used it for a bar for parties and covered with table cloth and used it for a Christmas display. It is worth the money. You do have to lock the wheels and make sure the table top is snapped in. If you are vary aggressive as you cut it will jiggle a little. It is not for putting your sewing machine on and sewing I don't think. The vibration would be too much for it although for large things to sew I have used it.

    Hope it helps.

    I too have this table and love it - it is functional and practical. When there is a lot of cutting to do - the opened table is great, especially if you have the large cutting board the size of the table. When I finish cutting I fold the table back down and put the cutting board behind the table against the wall and it works great. Good choice if you get one. :)

    I have had this table for about 5 years. Works very well, perfect height for me, I am 5'5" tall. I also have the cutting mat. The table folds up nicely for storage. :D
