Dear Esther,

I would highly recommend a company called General Woodworking in Lowell, 
Massachusetts. The contact I have had for many years is Peter Schell.

General Woodworking makes tables with powder-coated steel bases on 
casters with formica tops. The tables roll around easily for adjusting 
table spaces. In the mid-90's, they made the tables for the Textile 
Conservation Center and since then over the years have fabricated tables 
for many other museums and conservation labs. Tables can be custom 
designed to be adjustable or have cut outs for a suction disc or for 
stitching on a modular flat surface. Recently I had him design one for a 
large wash tank with a sectional table top to be the same height as all 
of the rest of my tables. They will custom build to your specifications 
including height and color choices.

Best of luck.

Deirdre
