Scrap-N-Stow Craft Table

Rating

I went back and forth on whether to get this table as I am a scrapbooker but my supplies are stored inconveniently in the basement. I was looking for a solution where I could set up at a moments notice and scrap while I watched TV. The table came and it looked useful enough. As other reviewers mentioned, the sides that make the lid seem a bit useless but that's OK. I went to use the table while I sat on the couch and being short, couldn't even comfortabley reach the top - so I grabbed my son's kitchen chair that has the "kaboost" on the bottom to boost me up to the table. I began to work and when I was done I tried to assess how I could keep what I was working on "in" the table for next time. Well first off - my album is too fat - I couldn't even begin to try to close the lids with my book in there - and I do work out of my album. None of my other supplies really fit either and I was finding that while the concept was clever, it didn't really work out for me. So now I have this too tall table that really doesn't have any more benefits then that of a folding table. I would not buy this again and it may end up in next year's garage sale.

I really like the table and how it has so much room for all of the things you need to have right at your finger tips. The one thing I am not as pleased with is that it is a little tall. I am rather short and that didn't help. Over all I really like this table.

Great table for storing supplies while you crop. All compartments have ample space and are easily in arms reach. The only drawbacks are that you can't sit in a non-adjustable chair because the table is too high and you have to lift it up to a chair to open and turn it to the upright position. Because I have a bad back, this was a bit challenging, but manageable. A personal annoyance, is that the left side latch does not stay up and my left arm hits it often while cropping.

I love this table. I have set it up in my family room so I can scrap and be with my family as well. And, the nice thing is that if we plan on having visitors, I can fold it up and move it out of the way. I enjoy scrapping on this table so much I find myself not using my craft room as much and spending more time working from this table. The only con I have found is it sits a little high from what I am used to but I am getting adjusted to the height and it is really not a concern anymore...in fact, I am beginning to like the new height. This could be a problem for a shorter person though. I am extremely happy with it and glad that I made the purchase.
