Sew Ready Foldable Hobby and Cutting Grid Table - 58.75" W x 36.5" D White Arts and Crafts Table with Grid Top and Silver Storage Drawers

In three hours today, I unboxed the table components, read the instructions, and assembled the table.I'm really impressed with the easily readable detail in the instructions and the numbering of every part number that also corresponds to the instructions. Instructions are primarily diagrams, with just a little text. A lot of text is not needed. Anyone with little to no ability to assemble something, or anyone who doesn't generally do well following instructions, will find the instructions very easy to follow. I've never seen instructions so well done and easy to follow.As for the table itself, it appears to be very well built. The engineered parts and inserts that the screws and bolts thread into were all perfectly placed and I had no trouble lining up or inserting anything. Everything but the underside of the tabletop had metal components to screw or bolt into. The underside of the tabletop had partially pre-drilled holes to attach the hinges with screws. These screwed into the wood. A few of the holes were only slightly misaligned, but I had no issues firmly attaching the hinges.I really like that the height can be adjusted. To do so, the table would have to be laid on its side so that the knobs can be unscrewed (all metal into metal!) and the legs adjusted. When assembling, I would recommend determining the height you want when first inserting the legs--it'll be easier to do at that time than waiting until the whole table is assembled, since in the early stage you'll only be dealing with a light frame vs. a fully assembled, heavy table. Fortunately, I had the forethought to do that and it made adjusting the legs much easier.The only thing needed for tools that were not provided is a Phillips screwdriver and an Allen key that's slightly larger than the provided one. That Allen key is for the last of the two bolts that go into the bottom of the table, but if you don't have one, finger tightening it will probably be fine since it's just a stopper for the swing-out support leg for the side panel. I would also recommend using a regular/better quality (thicker) open-end wrench, since the one that's provided is very thin and a little harder to position and hold in place.The instructions say to not use power tools. The main tool used for the majority of assembly is the Allen key. I don't even know if there is a power tool for that. I certainly don't have one. But when I did get to screwing in all those 48 screws into the 8 hinges with the Phillips, I manually inserted the screws halfway, and used my low-power screwdriver to screw them most of the rest of the way--I did so gently and slowly so as to not damage the hole since it's wood. It was just too much for me at that point to do all that by hand. I'm a woman in my early 70s with a bad back, so by the end of the 3 hours, I had to either take a long break and finish later or use some power! If you do use a power tool, don't use an impact wrench, since that's likely to cause damage. I screwed them in slowly and gently until nearly completely in, then hand-tightened all the screws the rest of the way.TIP #1: When you've finished installing the hinges on the tabletop and are ready to lift the frame onto the tabletop, do something like I did to make that easier and to keep the side panel support leg from swinging outward. I used velcro strips to strap both side panel legs to each adjacent support leg of the main frame (center frame). You could use anything like cording, strong tape, etc. Just something that will keep the leg in place as you invert the frame onto the tabletop which is bottom-side up on the floor. Then after you attach the tabletop, you'll also be able to turn the unit right side up without the side panels swinging outward and banging into something or damaging the hinges from force of gravity.TIP #2: After completing assembly, I noticed that I had the tabletop panels installed incorrectly. One side is metric and one is imperial. Since I was working upside down, with the printed side down, I didn't realize there were two types of measurements, so now I have metric in the middle of the imperial, and vice versa! And I can't correct it because the hinge screws are inserted into wood, and I don't think I'd get a tight fit if I removed and reinstalled them. So that's one flaw in the instructions--if they would have cautioned about that, I'd have gotten it right. So, watch for that!I've attached a few photos from the instructions, hardware, and frame parts so you can see how they are numbered and how easy it'll be to follow the instructions where each part to be installed is numbered on each page.Shipping ripped out a large chunk at the corner of the exterior cardboard box, but the table was so well packaged that there was no damage. Pic attached.I have lots of plans for this table, and really like how when it's not in use it can be folded so that it takes up very little room. I highly recommend this well designed, engineered, and constructed table!

I was hesitant about this table, because the reviews often had damaged parts. I pulled the trigger anyways because I couldn't find anything that looked quite as nice. I'm so happy I did - this table is AMAZING. It was super easy to put together by myself, parts were well and clearly labeled. It's so compact. The lines match up on all the table parts. It seems sturdy, despite there just being the one angled part holding the wings open. The wheels lock. And it's SO compact and folds right up when I don't need it! I LOVE it. It's absolutely perfect.I did use a small drill to screw in the 48 hinge screws because I wasn't about to do that with a screwdriver, but if you go that route be careful, you can overdo it. It also doesn't come with extra hardware so don't lose any.

This table is amazing! So easy to put together with organized, labeled parts, and simple instructions. The side baskets are so convenient, the surface area is perfect for my home dec sewing, and it easily folds up and can be rolled into my closet for easy storage. It’s very sturdy. I don’t know how I lived without it!

It is sturdy and strong. It was easy to assemble and I love that I can adjust the height. The only problem I have with it is there is a place on the top where it looks like it might have been thrown and dented the top and scratched off some of the numbers. I will put some super glue on it to keep it from spreading and I think it will be good. I just hate to spend that much money and it is not in perfect condition as it should be. But, all in all, this is exactly what I expected it to be and I excited to have it! I would recommend it to anyone looking for a good, functional table. AND, it folds up to keep it out of the way.

I've been eyeing this for months and finally pulled the trigger on ordering it. Finally, a sewing table that folds down and fits into a compact space! My only complaint about the table itself is the surface is not for cutting, but the grids will be very useful. You will need to put a cutting mat on top. Same when using an ironing mat. I love that I can just roll it around to adjust. I haven't yet tried to adjust the height. Might be a little tricky, so I'll try when there's nothing on the table.Assembly: Everything arrived well packaged with no damage. The instructions were easy to follow. It took about 2ish hours for me (31F) to set up solo. Do not use power tools! All tools accept a screwdriver are provided, which you'll need. The only thing I really had a hard time with was inputting the screws and hinges beneath the table. If you screw too deep, you might pierce through the top of table. The holes are pre drilled, but it was still tricky screwing all the way, my hand got sore after awhile.Overall, it was well worth the purchase and I hope to get many years out of it.

I bought this table to use in my quilting room. I don't have much space, so I like that it folds up when not in use (whenever that will be). The measurements on top which are in inches on one side and centimeters on the other, are very handy for a quick measure. The baskets and the shelf are great! I can only use one basket, since the table is up against a wall. If you have more space, you can pull the table out so you can use both baskets. I like the shelf for storing my accuquilt cubes and cutting mats. My husband and I put the table together and it took 2 - 3 hours. Everything was clearly marked and the washers, screws, etc. were on a card so that it was easy to pick out which one was needed. I also like the adjustability of the height. When we put it together I was able to choose the best height for me. Now I don't get backaches when cutting out fabric. The table is also very sturdy. It doesn't seem to have the wobbly problems that other tables have. This has been a wonderful purchase!
