Perfect little helper!
"I had high expectations for this little table based upon other people's reviews. It is exactly what I expected-compact, simple. I needed an inexpensive, basic, no-frills table that my large Designer SE would fit in. This little guy fit the bill. I bumped it up agianst my 2 banquet tables and made a very large, convenient sewing and quilting area. The only thing that I would change is to add an inch or so th..." Read Full Review »

Disappointing quality & poorly packed
"The legs are solid, the size of the table is great, but the quality of the table top and the insert are very disappointing. The laminate is paper-thin [...]. The table was also missing one of the screws to anchor a leg brace and it seemed to be missing hardware to stabilize the adjustable platform for the correct height for my machine. Lacking instructions, it seemed to have been packed before it was finished..." Read Full Review »

I bumped it up agianst my 2 banquet tables and made a very large, convenient sewing and quilting area. The only thing that I would change is to add an inch or so the the table's highth so that it would be the same as a standard banquet table that I know is commonly unsed by most crafters. I had to put 2 boards underneath the legs in order to lift it higher--not a huge problem, but it would be nice!"

Best Uses
"This is a nice sewing table with lots of leg room; however, the table legs do not have a device to snap into that will hold them in place when it is folded up for storage. We have to use a bungy cord wrapped around the legs and table to hold the legs in place.
When ordering from your site, the description for the table should specify that the INSERT (ordered separtely) is necessary for a flat sewing surface."

"I love this table. I ordered it and received it very quickly. I also ordered the insert and it fit perfectly. I have one of these tables and I ordered one for my sister. She loved it. I would highly recommend this to anyone who wants an inexpensive table with a lift in it for the sewing machine to sit level with the table. Be sure to order an insert to fit around the machine. Just give them the make and model of your sewing machine."

Roberts 299 Portable Sewing Table Review
Not sturdy enough
- Easy assembly
Pros
- Heavy / bulky
- Inconvenient
- Poor design
Cons
Best Uses
"The table shakes when sewing at an average rate. When I sew fast I can't even sew a straight line. The drop down platform is designed poorly so that the machine is far away from you and you cannot make it level. I can only use it as a regular table. My old card table which I was trying to replace is far superior."
