Please help me decide if this table will be worth it.

My thoughts are that this 2 shelves design would make it MORE sturdy, but I think it is a bit expensive. If space is a factor, then the folding part is great. If you can afford it, why not give it a try? Otherwise, an office type table on blocks or bed risers, or the one from Joanns would be much cheaper. Please let us know the rest of the story! :-) Laura

I don't know anything about this table, but I am using a computer desk made by Sullivan, that we bought 20 years ago or so. It is very sturdy. So it is a good brand...or it was 20 years ago. This desk isn't metal though, it is composite wood, or something like that. It came in a box from K-Mart and my husband put it together. Right now it is my sewing machine table and my laptop holder. ![Smile](https://cdn.quiltingboard.com/images/smilies/smile.png)
I think Hancock's has a similar table also, but not sure of its cost. Hard to decide from just a picture, isn't it?

I googled this table, just because I was curious, and here is a different view of it. The real difference I see between it and others I found is the two shelves. It looks really stable.
I hope this link takes you there. I tried to copy all of it.

Okay, I added a w to the front. Might work now.

I purchased the one from Joann's several years ago it is a little ""unsteady" wobbly
but it does the job and has locking casters on it.
I don't really have enough room to "open" to use as a cutting table, but I do love it.
Mine does NOT have the two shelves under it though.
Also I purchased mine when it was on sale and got it for $approx $75 and I got a cutting
mat to fit the top, but since I am unable to open my table to use it as intended that also
means I have never used the cutting mat either YET.

If you've got one close enough, consider looking at Ikea's work table options--you can choose your options for legs, top, possibly some shelves, and many legs are adjustable. I really like mine, and it's sturdy but wasn't expensive.

I have one, but no shelves. I think I paid 80.00 for it around 2001. I like mine. I did lose one of the casters in the move from Texas, but otherwise, I think its a great table. I saw one in the link you provided, listed for 129.00.

I have the Joann's one without the shelves. I can only have one flap up but use that for cutting with a large olfa mat. I think it would be too high to support a quilt. At least it would be for my setup so I.'d check your measurements rather than be disappointed. I got mine with a coupon too.
