I bought one about 4 years ago and it is okay it is sturdy and you can use it for cutting out and for other things as well. Like basting and stuff. I have used it 1/2 up and the full table. The only thing is that my sewing room is too small for that and my 2 sewing machines and myself. They are sturdy and helpful. They are versatile as well. If you have the room it is a good deal if you will use it a lot and if not it is too tall for eating off of.
The cost is reasonable as well, so I guess it is up you.

You can fold it down totally and it is about a foot wide...or you can fold one side down.
The wheels are great too.
I can fold it up and roll it away when needed.

I got a flyer in the mail today and it's going to be on sale for 69.99.
I was wondering if any one has one and how they like it.
Also, was wondering if you can just have half of the table up at a time? Whether that's an option or not.
Go look at it up - not in the box. I bought mine it weighed a ton took 3 guys from the neighborhood to get up the stairs and put together LOL. Then after that the legs do not open straight out they are on an angle making it hard to put things under it.
I would look for the ones now that have storage under it. That looks like mine but maybe a newer model. I like it & it does fold up but I tend to have it open all the time, because I have the 34X60 mat on top.
Thanks for any feed back.

My friend just bought one and loves it. I think it is possible to put up only one side at a time. The cutting table works like a gate leg table. You lift the side up and the support mechanism underneath
swings out from the center. The height is perfect for cutting - no back strain. Happy cutting!

I bought one about 4 years ago when I was doing my beading full time and love it. I now use it for a large ironing board for my quilting. I bought ironing board material and backing (2 yds each) and it fits perfectly and I use it when the quilt top is finished and I need to do a good pressing. I am lucky in that I have a cutting table which is heavier that I use for my cutting, etc. I have used the table with only half of the table up, or just sometimes the center with both sides folded down, so it is versatile. Think you would be happy with it.

I bought one years ago and loved it and when I moved I gave it away, bought one last year and I hate it'! It just is not steady, yes you can have only half the table up but it really is kind of shaky. In fact I am buying a much better cutting table and the Ft. Lauderdale quilt show on Saturday!!
