This is a terrible picture but you can see when I sit on my stool I can get my legs under the table and be over the glass and the table is low enough that there is room under the glass to work a needle.. I love it when a plan works....
I am still sending emails back and forth with the company about the magnifying lamp.. Considering the price ($100) it is not well made... I don't want to send it back as it would be heavy and awkward to pack and I do like it. The worst case scenario is that I will have to "Gerry-rig" my own base for it somehow.. probably by taking another floor lamp apart and cutting it down.
Another possible option is that I have a friend who has a very clever husband who I could probably get to make the parts fit...
It is especially irritating because at the same time I ordered this pharmacy lamp for by my bed. It was half the price and I was amazed at the high quality of the lamp and materials...
Here is my table with the bread board removed and all folded up flat.
Your portable table turned out great. And portable too! I've ordered a few things too that were not what I thought they would be and it's pretty darned irritating. I hope you can get some satisfaction from the company. $100 is a lot of money and then still have to rig it. Be sure to keep us posted on the end result.
ReplyDeleteAnother Gerry project success. I do hope you can get some satisfaction from the lamp company. Very annoying to spend good money just to find the product is not well made.
ReplyDeleteI definitely feel for you over the faulty lamp - I'm doing battle with a sewing machine that won't do what it's supposed to. Hope you can get them to come up with a solution.
