Well, Black Friday has come and gone and I am curious to know if you bought the table.
I had one and found it a little wobbly, so I pushed it up against a wall to give it a little more stability. My daughter confiscated it when we moved and my husband built me a new cutting table with drawers. She loves it and likes the fact that the sides drop down when she is not using it, since they live in an apartment.

OK - I got a lot of great advice about the table. I decided not to buy it - I know ... I know.. but space was a factor and I am going through a seperation and money is tight. Decided I could put my dining room table on the bed lifters and have cutting height for a day. I also " frugally" repurposed other items to make a new sewing area in the living room. I gave up my sewing room upstairs - cats domain and the two dogs would be up there creating havoc more than not. SO... I moved downstairs. Have gotten way more sewing done with it right in the living room. Used a big old table for my cutting mat and machine. And a small table for my little ironing mat. Put some storage underneath and my design wall over the table. I appreciate everyone's advice and everyone put such thought into what they said about the table. I just had to think about not spending the money. Thanks again!

I just bought this table for the same sale price at Hancock's on Black Friday. I LOVE it! It's definitely the right height for cutting. You can also order a pressing pad for it. I love that it folds up out of the way when not in use.
