Sew Ready Hobby and Cutting Table - 58.75" W x 36.5" D White Arts and Crafts Table with 2 Mesh Storage Drawers, Silver/White

UPDATE #3:So below I mentioned a wheel broke off of one of the drop leafs, but didn’t knock stars off because I UUUUUSE this table and not gently. I was originally going to figure out a way to change all the wheels to beefier casters, but my dad and I figured out that the piece that holds the wheel in place was plastic and that snapped. Upside is that we were able to take that leg piece, flip it, and the other end had a place for the wheel! So I am currently back to working order. I highly suggest if you move the table around a lot, make sure to regularly tighten up any screws around the legs and wheels. We noticed a lot had started to loosen when we were investigating the wheel situation and that it probably contributed to the break. Again, I am very rough with this table, spinning it regularly on uneven ground with bits of fabric and thread that can easily get caught up in the wheels.UPDATE #2:So I had a wheel break off of my table on one of the collapsible pieces. I’m not taking any stars off, because as I have stated previously, I have really abused this table, including constantly moving and spinning it when doing sewing projects. Scarily, when the wheel fell off, I had two sewing machines sitting on that wing of the table, but luckily I was able to catch the table leaf before it folded down and then yell for help to get my precious sewing machines off.I have plans to fix/mod the wheels as they are kind of small if you are planning to constantly be moving the table about, especially on any kind of uneven surface or with some weight on the tabletop. I think generally the table as is, is still great, this just might be something to consider if you are like me. 😊UPDATE:I have had this table for quite a while now, and it has been an absolute workhorse for me. I originally bought it for acrylic pouring and working with resin in a limited space in our garage, but I have since also taken up sewing, and I use the bottom shelf to store my sewing machine and the baskets for most of my sewing notions. My dad and I have also used this for projects that require cutting like 3/4” sheets of MDF for a nightstand project I did. Despite this table not seeming like it would be sturdy enough for the abuse I have put it through, it has held up like a champ. This also includes ironing fabric directly on the table (I plan to make a custom ironing pad for the tabletop eventually just haven’t gotten to it yet).When we are doing things like using a circular saw to cut down mdf or plywood, I do take care that the table is clear of where the saw would run as well as try to position thing as close to the center as possible where there is better support. If we have to cut near the edges, I usually add extra support to the wing with my hands or arms underneath while my dad runs the saw. So far this has worked. I wouldn’t put this through any hardcore woodworking/workshop projects, but for occasional small projects it has been awesome.ORIGINAL REVIEW:I just assembled this today. The box that it arrived in did have some minor damage, but luckily there was no real damage to the inside, just some minor scratches from pieces moving against each other, and a few dents on the underside of one of the leafs.Quality:The table tops and lower shelf are obviously made from particle board, so I question the longevity of these pieces, but I managed assembly without breaking any of them. The frame is decent enough. The casters have some chintzy “metal” pieces to them, but they are at least the screw-in type of caster, so I think it will be fine, they just look and feel a bit cheap. The frame overall is pretty solid. Solid enough without being too weighty.Assembly:Instructions were clear and easy to follow. The pieces were clearly labeled, and the screws, nuts, bolts, etc were nicely packaged in a way that had them clearly labeled - but BEWARE! there are NO extra pieces. You only get exactly what you need. The screws were decent, I had no issues with the screw heads being stripped or anything like that, though I did it all with hand tools, no power tools. I think you could risk stripping a screw if you used a power tool with too much torque.I had a couple of issues with alignment of the predrilled holes. One was the center hole on the lower shelf - it did not align at all. Luckily the other four holes aligned just fine (two per side) so I left out that center screw. The other issue was one of the brackets that swings out - just one hole was misaligned juuuuust enough that I couldn’t get the bolt to drop all the way through to attach the nut on the underside. I was able to force it through by using a rubber mallet. Then I was able to attach the nut and tighten it without issue. The other issue was the bolt that is on the underside of one of the leafs does not easily align with the lil socket on the leg. I was able to eventually get it to settle in place, but it really took some finagling.I’m planning to use this for artwork, primarily acrylic pours, and I needed a larger workspace that I could collapse when not in use. I think this will fit the bill. I’m so excited that I can adjust the height (though this is not an easy-peasy task, you will want to plan for it) as my back has been killing me from bending over a small card table too much!I will update after some time has passed and I’ve gotten some use out of this.TIP: Lay a towel of something down in the place you plan so assemble (especially if you do this on the garage floor like me). You assemble a lot of the parts with the laying down, including the entire tabletop being face down - I ended up with some minor scratches on my tabletop since I didn’t think to lay out a towel or something until too late.

Yes, this table is great. Easy to put together. Handy space-saving design and thoughtful features. All that is true. But let's be honest, the casters are the WORST. Why do manufacturers make great products but then cheap out when it comes to the wheels? I will never understand. The included casters don't roll well, to begin with, and the plastic inserts crack and allow the casters to bend. BUT I HAVE THE SOLUTION. If you want to fix the problem once and for all, allowing you to use a stronger caster and make your table sturdier and more maneuverable then here's how I did it. It was quick and easy. Here's what you need:1. A hammer and perhaps a screwdriver to help hold the insert while you hammer.2. Something to cut the plastic insert with - I used tinsnips - plus some sandpaper or a dremel or a butane lighter which you'll need to flatten the plastic inserts.3. Outwater Square Double Star Metal Caster Insert with Thread DS71-326 Thread: 3/8-16, Outside Diameter of Tube: 1", Gauge of Tube: 16/18. Amazon link below (These come in a pack of 20. You can order smaller quantities directly from the mfg website, but with shipping for the six you'll need it's about $25, or just pay $34 and get 20 from Amazon. Ignore the mfg instructions to measure the tube - I did that and ordered the smaller 3/4" DS71-245. They're too narrow and just rattle around inside the leg. This larger size will sit flush with the edge of the tube and the prongs modified slightly as I will show you will hold it tightly in place. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B076MJ8BBP.4. Nefish Stem Caster Wheels 2 Inch, 8 Pack, Heavy Duty Threaded Stem Casters, UNC 3/8"-16 x 1" Swivel Casters Set of 4 with Safety Dual Locking Wheel for Furniture and Cart or any 3/8" - 16 x " caster. I found these were the lowest price for the quantity needed, and they look and work great. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0CXJ7MM61Step 1: Take the leg inserts off the table.Remove the height adjustment knobs and pull the black plastic inserts out of the tube. You can pull on them using the attached casters and they slide right out. There are two in each leg - twelve in all. These inserts keep the height adjustment nuts in line. If you want to keep the ability to raise and lower the table you will need to modify six of the twelve. If not you can just set them aside and ignore the rest of this paragraph - you won't need the inserts for the new wheels. If you want height adjustment, cut off the end of the insert and smooth it flat using your Dremel or sandpaper or melt it with a butane torch (that's what I used) so it will fit back in the leg with the nuts aligned with the holes. You'll want to leave just enough plastic to hold the nut in place. Once I cut the ends, I used my butane lighter to melt down the rounded plastic end so it was flat. I just heated it and then quickly pressed it down to level it out on the flat wrench that came with my casters. This end will butt up against the end of the caster insert. Then you can put the other remaining insert back in on top of it. I'd also suggest screwing the height adjustment knobs back into the bottom insert so you don't knock it out of place when you're hammering in the caster insert.Step 2: Hammer down the star prongs on the caster insert as shown so you can get it started into the tube because they are a little too wide to fit as is. You can use a screwdriver or something to help hold it while you're hammering. Once you're able to put it part way into the leg - kind of leaning as shown, then you can hammer it in the rest of the way and the prongs will hold the insert tightly in place. They aren't going anywhere! I was able to do all six inserts in about 20 minutes once I figured out how much the prongs needed to be flattened. Then screw in your casters, put the legs back in your table, and you're done. The whole job took me about 40 minutes or less and cost about $30 for the casters and $34 for the inserts. I hope that this is helpful. Cheers!

Functionality:Purchased this as a gift for the seamstress in our family, and they've been using it nonstop! There is plenty of surface area and storage space for large or small projects. This product is highly recommended.

Why did you pick this product vs others?:Perfect table for my sewing office! Great for cutting and ironing. Very strong and sturdy!

Easy to assemble and very practical. Great deal.However, one of the legs had a metal bump that we had to grind down in order to make it fit together. Luckily we were able to solve that issue on our own, but be forewarned. If you have those sort of tools on hand it was an easy fix.

The best cutting and sewing table. Is super comfortable and sturdy! I really love it. Came fast and easy to assemble.
