My cutting table it a door with drawers under it. It works great. At first it was too high, but we have cut some of the height down. Now it's just the right height. It may be too long - I do pile lots of Stuff on it. ;-(

I'm on my second one from Joann's. I love it and use it everywhere. It fits the large cutting mat and I am able to drop one of the leaves to fit in my small sewing room. Buy when on sale or with the coupon. You can't do better for a cutting table.

My cutting table is an old church banquet table. It is the standard 6' x 3'. I inserted the legs into approx. 7" PVC poles with end caps. That brought the table up to a decent height for me and my back, arms, and neck never tire. I found an industrial stool to sit at when working on things that I can sit down for. Works great!
Sometimes I wish my table were 4' wide, but I can accept the 3'. I can still cut from one side to another and I can walk around if necessary.

My cutting table is the size of a door somewhere between 7 and 8 feet long and 3 to 4 feet wide, laid out on top of six unfinished cabinets that i finished and store fabric in, sew very handy, my hubs stained the door and put trim around the edge so i could align my rulers for cutting, I have sew much room, and the storage is tremendous.

I'm dreaming of a cutting table that would "straddle" the full size bed in my guest room. The bed is seldom used, so the space would be better utilized if it could be turned into a cutting area of the appropriate height to cut and not bend over - plenty of work space to have needed items close at hand.... As long as we're talking CUTTING TABLES, what do you all think?

If I had the room, yes make it as big as you can. My mom has 3 banquet tables put together and she has them on stilts to make them counter height. The height makes it so you don't get a back ache from leaning. The area is great for laying out blocks or sandwiching.
