Arrow 602 - Pixie Cutting Table

Comments about Arrow 602 - Pixie Cutting Table:

I purchased this table a year ago, but didn't get around to assembling it until October.

I use it mainly for cutting fabric; although I did use it to wrap gifts during the holidays.

I like the fact that it can be closed and moved out of the way, if necessary. I leave it permanently open, because I sew a lot. I don't use it for my sewing machine, I think it's too high for that.

As far as the assembly goes, it was fairly easy. The instructions come with pictures. I did run into some problems with pilot holes that were too big, but, I used wood filler and everything was fine. The other issue, although not a big one for me, was the pilot holes on the table top were backwards if you want to line up the tape measure on the sides, correctly. I did call Arrow about these issues and they were kind enough to send me a great gift for my trouble with the table.

The mat that comes with it is great, too. I leave it on permanently, because I can stick pins in it and it helps with cutting straight.

I was looking for a good-size cutting table for my sewing room, and this fit the bill perfectly. I like the large surface area for cutting and the built-in tape measure. It is also sturdy and stable: it shifts a bit if I really lean my whole weight into it, but for normal cutting stands nice and firm. The custom-sized cutting mat that fits the top of the table comes with it, and seems thick and good-quality.
I count the green color of the table as a slight minus. It is actually a nice green, but is not going to go with everyone's decor. A more neutral color would be nice (or better yet, being able to choose from a range of colors). My dream table would have more built-in storage under the middle, but such tables seem to run much more expensive.
This is a good, sturdy table for the home sewer or quilter.
