I use my ironing board..

This is what I use a lot, the kitchen counter.

I am really impressed with your cutting table. Where can I get one.
Thank you

yes, they are great. I also have a bad back and totally understand. when I first got mine and put it together I thought it was way to tall. Then I got to thinking; most of the time when you go into a fabric store they have tall cutting tables and then I read somewhere that it was better. It does help alot. I got mine on sale 1/2 price and it was easy to put together. You just have to make sure when you are screwing a section together just to tighten the screws a little until all of them are done or it will seam that the rest of the screws holes don't line up.

I added bedrisers to the legs of my Costco fold up table and it works great. It is the perfect height for me.

What a nice DH for (I bet) a loving wife.

I have had 5 back surgeries total, including a fusion at L5 (low). I bought steel shelving ($60) that comes with the fiber board that you set in for shelves. It is meant to be assembled into a "tower" of 5 shelve. If you keep it broken apart, you have 2 work stations - one for ironing (add cover) and one for rotary cutting (fits the biggest board almost perfectly). It should come about to your waist, and you will have a beautiful, heavy shelf underneath each one. They are less expensive then the Joanns ones - I used to work there - (you could stand and jump on these, if you wanted to). I have had mine for 10 years now and have cut for hours on it without pain. Can't do that anywhere else. BTW, shelves are adjustable to where you want.

You will have high, ergonomic cutting and ironing surfaces and
great storage space underneath. (sorry the picture is so small. This is a photo of 2 of the products, before splitting them in half. You only need ONE shelf tower for TWO workstations). They have them at Menards, HOme Depot, Sears etc. I got mine at Menards.

I'm one of those people "If I have one of something that works great, then I need two". I have two of the folding cutting tables from JoAnns and I use them both at the same time. I sit them up length-wise when I'm trimming the sides of a quilt and sit them up cross-wise when I'm squaring up a quilt or laying one out.

I purchased the Bed risers from Bed Bath and Beyond and put them under a table that I purchased from Lowes, K Mart, Walmart or any place that sells those plastic 4 ft or 8 ft tables. If you put two together (8 risers) you have a nice wide space to use for cutting. I also use my kitchen island for cutting with my large mat placed on it.

I also use my dinning room table but have bed risers under the legs that makes the table about waist high. This has really saved my back. Those table at Joann's are expensive and I bought the bed risers at Target for less than ten dollars.
