No longer requires a doctor--my DS and DDIL got me one for Mother's Day off the internet, cost about $30; I believe they found it on Amazon. DDIL has had one for years, back then had to get it through her doctor, and was a couple hundred dollars!

An old drafting table that is adjustable to a taller height and flat--it's in the middle of the room so I can walk around it. I'm asking Santa for a new drafting chair (high back, rolling,swivel and no arms) and plan to get a new lower table to sew on so I don't hunch over so much. Some one at my church makes "corn bags" that serve like a heat pad and in sizes that you can put between you and chair back--which helps with shoulders! Our quilt guild uses 12" long PVC pipe to slip on the legs of the folding tables to raise them for cutting--cheaper than bed risers, too!

I just bought this same unit, but have not put it together yet! Just got it in! Yeah, I thought $99 with free shipping to my house was pretty good, and I really like the looks of it. I'm excited, too, but not looking forward to assembling it. However, I have put together Sauder units before and they are really easy! Enjoy your new cabinet - I'm sure I will, too! 
I bought a sewing cabinet so I can take the table I've been using to sew and use it for a cutting table. Wal Mart has a great deal on a Sauder sewing cabinet. It's $60 cheaper then the Amazon price and free shipping to your house. It has a door with 2 shelves, another door with plastic compartments , a leaf that makes the cabinet 60 inches long when open and a shelf underneath to put a machine on. Can you tell I'm excited.

This isn't my post, but I also did post about this unit. Bought it and it is waiting to be assembled. Here is the link to it:

Can you give a web reference for me? I'm looking for a cabinet that isn't too expensive and this sounds great.
I have put a gypsy sit upon that I found at a quilter's yard sale on my office chair and I really like it. It has some give and seems to help with the back pain.
