I have one of these in our RV. It's fantastic! When it arrived, I
was a bit worried, as it doesn't feel very stable when set up.
However, once you set your sewing machine up on it, it is quite sturdy
and it's a dream to sew on.

Goodness me! How do you sew on something that small? I have trouble
with my benches, and frequently have to roll extra tabletop space up to
supplement it.

I sew on what I think is an old typing table - not the rolling metal
kind, but a table two inches lower than standard, with good sturdy metal
legs and a very solid wood top. Of course, I have something next to it
to catch overflow, plus another desk at right angles to keep my tools
etc. on, but it does make for an extemely flexible layout (and can be
all pushed out of the way when we have more than two overnight guests
and some of them have to sleep in the studio).

My benches are made of standard bits of kitchen worktop. When I want a
bigger area I can roll up an Ikea set of basket drawers and make a nice
L shaped space. I have three sets of drawers with the worktops on them,
so it's both flexible and great for storing away when we have guests. :)
