I got a couple of shop work tables from Home Depot. They are about 2' by 5' and they are waist high. I lined them up with the long sides together and put a rigid top over the two. Then I got a huge cutting mat to cover most of it. It isn't the prettiest, but it works well for me and saves my back. Very inexpensive, too.

I have one that DH found in the damaged section at JoAnn's. I piece of the edge molding had come lose in 2 areas. He glued them back in place and it is like new! Just the right height and I can fold it up and put it against the wall behind a chair when not in use. I think they sell for over $100, but got it for about $25. There is a 50% off coupon in the Joanns flyer that starts tomorrow. If they aren't on sale, you could use that.

Thanks for all the suggestions. I'm going to start looking around and will certainly think 'outside the box' on this one :)

I have a cutting table from Joanns. I've had it for many, many years and love it. It's the perfect height and folds to about 12" but expands to over 60". It's great.

Dining room table. And I sit while I cut most of the time.

I have one of the JoAnn's cutting tables. I am 5'10" , so it's a little bit low for cutting for a long time. But for most work, it's great. I don't find that mine wobbles. I got mine on a great sale with a coupon, so I'm pretty happy.

I love it. Where did they find it? I mean the table w/mat that tilts up.

I have a table from Joannes, got for the same reason and I am not sorry!! I love it, it is just the right height for cutting. I also use for fold my fabric around fabric boards and for folding my laundry. It's great! I don't think you'd be sorry. You might consider getting bed risers. A lot of quilters use them to raise their table for cutting.

I use my kitchen counter & even that isn't totally comfortable for my back. (What's with quilting & back pain??)
