    I have done this too- for my own tables. If you precut, you have to
    know exactly how the legs are configured. Are they in a "U" shape at
    the bottom- or do they go straight up to the table without any other
    table parts blocking them? Or- is there a hinge halfway up the leg?
    Also, you need to make sure you get the right PVC pipe- 1"? 1/2"? how
    thick are the legs? 

    If you're driving, I'd grab some different size PVC as well as a
    hacksaw and try it out at the show- we did that one year where
    counter heights were not available. But, they usually have counter
    height tables available- you can always ask. 

    There are also those "thingys" that college kids use to raise their
    beds some. They look like little plastic pots. The "pots" go upside
    down and the table or bed legs go on top of them so it's perched on
    them. It gives some height- not too much. I think the most I saw was
    1 foot. 

    You can also build a platform to go on top of the table to raise
    your display. Close the front and sides, and leave it open in the
    back and you can store your order forms, extra inventory under it.
    This will probably take the most planning, but I've seen it done
    really well and it can look very custom and professional.
