Sew Ready Foldable Hobby and Cutting Grid Table, White, 58.75 x 36.5 Inch

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 read all the reviews and I waited and waited to buy this. I ordered the plain one without the grid and it arrived damaged badly so to me it was a sign to go ahead and get this one without the grid. What?!? Why did I wait so long to get it. It is a nice size and foldable. It’s sturdy and I just love it!!! I’m kind of new to sewing and this is perfect for my 24 by 36 cutting mat with plenty of room on the other side for other stuff. I did have an issue lining the grids up but that’s from how you adjust the screws. Great buy!!!

I am an intuitive painting instructor and have my studio in my home. I'm always looking for ways to organize my space and this is it! I am 69 years old and I assembled this by myself! The instructions and the packing are stellar! I've never put something together like this with such ease. The table is sturdy and. ilove the shelf and baskets. The top is beautiful. The wheels roll smoothly. The sides are easy to drop down or lift up. It's amazing how it folds down to 12" (I think) and opens to 60"!! I don't think I've ever been happier wiith a purchase. Tips: Be patient! I did the bottom on one day and finished the next. Read the directions carefully...they are very clear. Before you start, get organized: lay out all of the pieces and put the screws in a baggie. Wait to tighten the screws until they are all in!! When putting the 48 screws on the top, lay it on a flat surface (the floor) and line up the top and bottom BEFORE tightening the screws. You will be happy if you take your time and know this will be a delight once it's done!

Package came quick but box clearly had been open and retaped. Looks like it was a return. I wanted to not even open it and just send it back, but my husband convinced me to open it up and see if all the parts are there. All the parts were there, so we decided to keep it since it is so heavy and would be a pain to box back up. It was easy to assemble and instructions were clear. One of the top boards for cutting did have a chuck chipped off (maybe that is why it was returned?) and the legs had finger prints and tiny dings on a couple of them. I will live with it, way to much trouble to box back up and send back. Over all it seems like a good table. Would have like to get a "brand new table" with no chips but on the bright side it won't be so painful when i end up putting my own chips in it when i starting using it. lol

This table is AMAZING! Well worth the price! I really love the cutting grid for my sewing hobbies. I also use this table for my painting hobbies and my diamond art fun. I appreciate that it folds down and is compatible for storing, and how you can put one or both sides up. I love them at the height is adjustable, but it is hard to adjust unless you have a second set of hands to raise or lower it. I would highly recommend this due to the durability and stability. The wheels also lock in place if you do not want it to move while using it.

The table was easy to put together. I like the grid lines but wished it had the 1/2 inch markings. I’m giving it only 4 stars because my grid lines didn’t match up like some of the others I saw pictures of. This makes it an issue when trying to measure large pieces of fabric. Wondering if anybody has had any issues with their rotary blades dulling quickly? I didn’t buy cheap blades. I even bought some titanium blades & they’re already dulled. I get that you can get dulled blades but I’m on my 3rd one. Could the top be causing this? I can’t think of any other reason why I’ve already had to replace 2 blades & I’ve only cut maybe 2 yards of cotton fabric. I tried to research to see if I’m not suppose to be using a rotary blade directly on the table but couldn’t find anything but if that’s the case I’d of never bought the table. I just changed blades again & decided to put my cutting mat on top of the table to see how long this blade lasts. I do like that it folds up & hardly takes up any space & I like that it has wheels to easily move it around. It’s big enough to easily work on quilt tops. I just changed my rotary blade & I’ll update my review after I see how long this blade lasts by using my cutting mat instead of cutting directly on the table. Is anyone else having this same issue? UPDATE: I’ve had the table about 4 months now. You are NOT to use a rotary blade directly on the table. I do love the table & the fact that it folds up is a bonus. So I’m changing my stars to 5.

Just had my table delivered today and am almost done assembling it. So far I'm experiencing almost exactly what so many others have. The box was delivered with a decent amount of damage (barely taped) with a pretty large open gash in the side (see pic). And, like most others, there didn't appear to be much (if any) damage to anything as I worked my way down through the box assembling the frame. AND, like most others I initially was a little bit concerned that it may be a little flimsy, but the further I got in frame assembly I realized that this thing is really built pretty well. The casters, though small, have a pretty impressive locking mechanism on them, and once you have everything snugged down (not one stripped hole!), it feels pretty bulletproof. A few of the bolts are a little fiddly to get threaded (especially the ones holding the shelf rails up), but with a little patience you'll get it. I even did it with the provided tools! Then we get to the top. I'm impressed with the texture of it and the coating...and I thought I was out of the woods until I pulled the last wing piece (see other pic). One corner is crushed. I've read good things about their customer service, so I've already opened a ticket with them to see what their response is. I'm a little disappointed because I wanted to finish assembly and use this over the weekend, but I'm not going to put this piece on and then have to undo all of those screws. So - I would honestly give this a 5 star rating, but given the consistently poor shipping experience customers are having, I have to back that off to a three. I'll update that if customer service makes this right. It got here quickly and mostly in one piece, so I'm impressed so far! *Update* - I was a bit discouraged because I never heard back from customer service. The next day I went back to their website and found that you can actually order replacements for damaged parts quite easily through their website, which I did. And today I received not just the piece that was damaged, but the entire table top replacement via FedEx. While I never actually spoke with customer service, they definitely addressed my issue quickly. I would definitely recommend doing business with this seller and/or purchasing this table!

This cutting table is well built, good quality, and easy to assemble. The top is solid heavy plastic, not a cheap laminate. Pieces fit together well and the directions are clear. It is very heavy, you may want to open the box and move it in pieces. Be sure to measure the height you want first, then attach the casters to the side legs, measure, and add 1/2" for the top, adjust. I left 5 holes at the bottom of the adjustable bars and this gave me a height of 36.75", perfect for me (I am 5"5" with long legs). You would have to tip the table over on its side to adjust the height after it is put together. I would suggest using an electric screwdriver or other power tool for putting in the 48 screws on the hinges, be careful, they strip easily. Other bolts were easy to attach and tighten with the provided Allen wrench. Be sure the 3 top pieces are aligned properly before attaching the hinges. It took me 2 leisurely hours to put it together, I only needed a little help at the last step when turning it upright. The plastic card holding all the screws and bolts had a typo making it confusing at first to figure out which bolts to use in several cases, but you can figure it out by the number of pieces provided. Two wrenches were provided with 4 different sized openings, only one end was needed, nothing fit the other ends. I had to use my own pliers to tighten the caster nuts. The markings on the table are accurate, I checked with one of my quilting rulers. There would be a slight inaccuracy if measuring across the hinged areas vertically. I found that my hinges did not line up exactly and therefore the lines going across them are not exactly continuous, off by about 1/32". The only negative is that since the support for the leaves is only in the middle, when you press down on the corner area it moves down a little. I would not put anything heavy on it, especially a large sewing machine. I had a cheaper version of this I got at Joann Fab, this one is so much better, although neither one is as sturdy as a four legged table (but those don't fold away as easily of course).

Very useful and good quality

this product is amazing. sturdy as described. functional and durable. use this everyday. can hold a far bit of weight like a 50 meter roll of material. it's honestly the nest table and affordable. thank you

As someone who enjoys sewing as a hobby, I recently got my hands on the Sew Ready 13386 Height Adjustable, Quilting Fabric Cutting Folding Table. This table has been a fantastic addition to my sewing setup, and I'm here to share my experience with it. First off, the quality of this table is impressive. It feels sturdy and well-made, which is essential for any serious sewing or quilting work. When you're cutting fabrics or working on a project, you want a stable surface that won't wobble or feel flimsy, and this table delivers on that front. One of the standout features for me was the ease of assembly. The instructions that came with the table were clear and easy to follow. I didn't have any trouble putting it together, which is always a relief. Nobody likes to wrestle with confusing instructions, especially when you're eager to start using a new piece of equipment. The space-saving design of this table is another huge plus. It's great for hobbyists like me who may not have a dedicated sewing room with lots of space. When folded down, it takes up very little room. This means I can easily store it away when it's not in use, keeping my space tidy and organized. The height adjustability feature is a game changer. It allows me to work comfortably, whether I'm standing or sitting, which is crucial for those long sewing sessions. The table also comes with a sewing board grid and guides, which are incredibly helpful for getting precise cuts and measurements. My mother-in-law actually bought one of these tables first. After seeing hers and hearing her rave about it, I knew I had to get one for myself. And I must say, it's lived up to the hype. It's made my sewing projects so much more enjoyable and efficient. In conclusion, if you're a hobby sewer looking for a reliable, space-efficient, and high-quality fabric cutting table, the Sew Ready 13386 is definitely worth considering. It's enhanced my sewing experience significantly, and I highly recommend it to fellow sewing enthusiasts.

WOW, WOW. If you can afford it, this fabric-cutting workstation is certainly worth having. One of Her Ladyship’s (my wife) hobbies is sewing. She started this hobby around half a century ago whilst at school, sewing being one of the lessons taught there. Since then, she has been knocking out a few frocks (she calls them gowns) at home. As any dressmaker knows that cutting fabric is more difficult than it seems. And one crucial thing that can make it easier is by having a sturdy surface that is large enough to lay out patterns and fabric without needing to worry about marks and stains caused by leftovers on your dining table. Her Ladyship used to use a large 5-fold cardboard cutting board some 7’ x 4’ that she placed onto the twelve-seater dining table. The purpose printed board was marked with the usual grid and guide lines used in dressmaking in both inches and centimetres. She would then carry the cut pieces to the Bermuda Room (sewing, shoes and handbag room) to sew up. As we are both in the realms of being old fogeys, going up and down the stairs can be tiring. I spotted the adjustable fabric cutting and folding sewing table with grid and guides on the Amazon Website. I showed Her Ladyship the cutting table, and she said she was happy with what she uses at present. I purchased the cutting table anyway. I was amazed at the speed of the delivery. I ordered it late on a Tuesday afternoon. The site said it is usually dispatched within 2 to 3 days, plus 3 days delivery. Upon checking Amazon’s tracking Wednesday evening, I was surprised to see that this cutting table would be delivered the next day by TNT. The cutting table arrived around 09:30am. The driver pulled the item from his truck and carried it like it was an empty box. It took both Her Ladyship and I to bring it into our home. We had to unpack the box in the hallway as we would not be able to carry the fully laden box up the dogleg stairs due to its weight. I read the explicit instructions during the morning coffee break. We laid out the pieces which are all clearly numbered even the screws and bolts, and followed the graphical and written instructions page by page. The instructions could not have been clearer. To make things easier for me, I used an electric screwdriver with the correct size Allen Hex Hexagon bit. (I would advise you not to use either slotted, Pozidriv, or Phillips Head driver bits withan electric screwdriver). All screws and bolts have the same Hex size (you are supplied with an Allen key (unfortunately, the supplied spanner did not fit anything on the table)). I would also suggest that you carefully place the top and sides of the table face down on a level floor (making sure you have arranged the three pieces in the correct order. In other words, the measurements follow on from each section) Screw all the hinges on in the pre-drilled holes. Then leaving the three pieces on the flat surface, place the metal body on top (Castors facing the ceiling as per written instructions). We completed the sewing table within an hour and a half, and that included a twenty-five-minute coffee break. The sewing table is no lightweight, but that said, it offers greater stability, in which case the supplied locking wheels are a must. Although you might not think it necessary, you can’t really predict when you might have to move the table. The sewing table can be easily pushed around even on thick carpet and when fully extended, we found it did not wobble when fully open. The sewing table is not restricted to just cutting material. It can be used for crafting or even eating your dinner from it if you live in a small apartment. I found another use for it. I can use it to place my Blundell Harling A1 drawing board on it rather than using my desk. It will also be used for my Logan 450-1 Artist Elite Mount Cutter. I have a feeling Her Ladyship will padlock it up in her sewing room to prevent me from pinching it.

Es un producto excelente, muy funcional y práctico. Facilita mucho el trabajo manual y, si se mantiene en la posición más alta, ayuda a mantener una postura adecuada mientras realizas esas tareas, por lo que no te duele la espalda al terminar. Es un poco complicado armarla, pero vale la pena el tiempo invertido. Llegó rota de la esquina de una de las piezas que se pliega, pero el vendedor respondió y dió solución al problema. Estaría muy bueno que mejoraran el sistema de ajuste de altura, ya que eso sí es muy complicado.
