If you want a portable manicure table - read this! - 10-03-05, 11:25 AM

Hi

I was in two minds whether or not to post this, as it occurred to me that if too many people do it, it might get stopped! Here goes...

I've been looking for a portable manicure table for aaaages! I didn't want to spend too much on one, so have been tracking them on ebay. After a comment on here I contacted a seller who had 5 or 6 of them for sale (obviously a trader) and asked if he would sell me one direct without me having to bid to try and win one - a 'buy it now' option.

The seller very kindly sold me one for £35 plus £4 postage, so I'm a very happy bunny

I've been tracking his others and - get this - one sold yesterday for £109!!!!!!!!!!!!

So if anyone out there's tempted to bid on one, try asking for a buy it now price first (then you can spend what you have 'saved' on shoes and handbags, if you're anything like me!)

You got a bargain hun - if it's those Halflife tables you're talking about, he offered me £48 including postage!

Can you let us know what it's like? At the moment I have an picnic table from Woolies but I find I am a bit short of space, when you get yours would it be possible to post some measurements for us all?

It's Healthlife

Haven't opened the box yet as I'm currently packing to move house and was going to leave it in it's packaging, but it's the Healthlife kidney-shaped one with a little wrist cushion.

I'm hoping it'll fit in the back of my car (smart cabrio!) If it doesn't I'll offer it on here for the same price I paid (Even though it's tempting to put it on ebay and get £109 for it!!!!!)

Hi all

I too have bought one of these healthlife tables.. £45 inc. p&p..
It's very sturdy, a great shape, just the right size in my opinion. Only trouble I'm finding with it, is the weight.. It's a little on the heavy side, so that's someting to take into consideration before purchasing. Especially if you've loads of bags etc to carry about as well. However, I'm chuffed to bits with it. It's just the job!

I also have a Smart car (pash..), and it's fine. It fits in a treat!!!

Hope that helps.

Anna

I bought my manicure table not long ago following the advice above - i bought the fold up one from LAKELAND. It was about £35, has adjustable legs, a nice easy clean top and a ridge round the edge so brushes and the like dont fall off.

Also - if you order the table online - dont bother with the express delivery - mine arrived two days after i ordered it!! I have used it once on a paying customer and it was fab )) Hope this helps all xxxxx
