I used oil cloth that I purchased at my local fabric store. They call it oil cloth, it’s really just plastic coated canvas. The designs are taken from original oil cloth patterns but the technology for producing the material is different now.

I used good ol’ duct tape to attach it to the table

It’s extremely stable which surprised me too. No swaying. I think it’s because the size of the PVC pipe is a fairly snug fit for the table leg.

how stable is that table? up on the pvc, i mean. does it “sway” any? do you think it would work just as well on hardwood floors?

I was wondering the same thing…

You can also make up some hollow cubes to put your table legs into, especially if you are on a tight budget, I do believe my sister in Australia is going to do this as she has coasters on the legs of her table, but it is just a few inches short.

Costco has tables that have adjustable heights and they are about 5-6 feet long. They are under $50. Great for cutting etc.

I am looking to turn a little section of my living room into a work studio. I need a table to do some pattern cutting on and where I can also cut out my fabrics. (designer starting from home basically). I need something flat and hard that wont effect the pattern drafting, but something light weight that will fold up and can be placed against the wall when i am not using it. Also something tall enough so I dont encounter the back problems you know so well. Any suggestions? Looking for the budget option! Thanks!
