    I'm 5'1" and mine is 29". I sometimes use the kitchen table if I'm cutting a lot or my workbench which is higher at 38". Just depends on my back's attitude.

    I'm 5'1" and my table is 33 1/2" high .... a card table on risers, top covered with a piece of wall board that's approx 1" thick. I'm a "make do" kind of person !

    I'm only 5' 2 1/2 inches tall. Just had a bone density test, so that is official. LOL My gateleg Dritz table is 34 inches tall. It is okay except when I cut beyond the center, then it is a little too tall. Unlike some of you I feel like I have no legs!!! I shorten petite length slacks.

    I recently replaced the Dritz cutting mat with an Alvin mat. I think that's the right name. It was on QB post a while back. Yes they are a little stinky at first and pricey, but they are wonderful. Well worth the price and free shipping on my order. I don't recall the name of the company where I ordered.

    When I went shopping for a dinning table and chairs, I knew I would use it for cutting, pining, and layering, so I bought one that is 36" tall, with chairs that are 22" at the seat. I am 5"6.5' so it is ergonomically perfect for me since I am all body with short legs. ( Thank you daddy, mom had all the tall relatives....)

    I'm exactly 5' and my table is 36"-no bending for my sore back. It's actually a dog grooming table with plywood top on bed risers for more hight.

    Almost the same here - 5' 5 1/2" with long legs and shorter torso, and I think a taller cutting counter is easier on my back and arms. Mine is 38" high.
