Mu cutting table is from Tracey's Tables in Wisconsin and I got the mat from him too. They are online and very reasonable. I have their quilting table set up and ironing board and couple of chests as well.

I have the cutting table from Joanns, just love it just the right height, I keep one half up and my large mat fits it.
Doesn't take much space when folded down...I saw the one at Hancocks last week and it has 1 deep drawer on each side. Really liked it also..

My husband and I moved around a lot so whatever I have has to be portable. I have 4 storage cabinets 34" tall. I laid a sheet of 5/8" plywood on top and covered it with an old king sized sheet, then some left over batting and then another king sized sheet. I used sheet straps to hold it together. I have my cutting mats on one end but I can use the whole thing to iron large pieces. It gives me a large, flat, stable area to work on.

Great idea. I have a wonderful cutting table I bought years ago when living in California. It has a leaf on both sides, so when not in use, I can drop the leaf down out of the way. So far, I seem to keep it up most of the time. However, I wish I had bought a dining room drop leaf table instead. You can always buy some risers if the table is not high enough. GiGi

my boyfriend made my cutting table and sewing table out of oak, then stained them and put a few clear coats to protect them from me... The sewing table is 54" L x 25" W x 34" H and my sewing table is 63" L x 20" W X 29" H. He did a wonderful job, more than I expected.
