    I got PVC pipe from Home Depot and had my DH cut it to the length I needed. I just slipped a pipe on each of the legs. I had several sizes to be used for different jobs. Then you can always take them off quickly when you need those extra tables for a party.

    i use bed risers that i got at Joanns for my table. i used my coupon too so they were cheap. the only issue is if i have to move the table. they don't want to slide. the cement block idea sounds like a pain in my toes to me!! i know i would be stubbing my toes on them constantly. i'm glad they work for some.

    I like your system. Is it just pvc pipe or is it a specific item to look for? Are the feet pop ons?

    My sister uses PVC pipe. She puts the legs of the table inside the pipe which is cut to add the length she needs the table to be.

    big lots in austin had the bed risers for 5.00 last week
    i like all the ideas
    i would let concrete set up in cans first to give them
    weight.

    I love what you have done. I usually bring in 4 house bricks which I have cleaned up just for the purpose. I am going to get some PVC.
    I must admit I had never thought of using PVC but what a brilliant idea. Thank you to all who have suggested it.
    Happy Quilting

    My 4 ft table that I bought from BJ's has adjustable legs that have 3 diffrent heights. My 6 ft table does not. I would think you would have to put them on something that has some weight to it. If you put the table on old paint cans or bed risers I just feel the table would shift on you as you put pressure as you are cutting. You just need something sturdy.
