I made something like this from 2 closet maid closet organizers and a piece I had left from one of those "knockdown" bookshelves that had fallen apart. I used the side of the bookcase for the top. It works great for me, looks OK and was cheap. I got the shelf units for $12.00 each. The best part was the shelves were the right size for the organizer drawers I already had.

I am on the lookout for some sort of brace to slip over the back/side pieces so I can glue the thing back together. Look fabulous, just not structurally sound.

Thanks ever so much for this post. I have been looking for a cutting table that's at least 36" high; counter height but have not found one in the price range I'm looking for. When I saw this beauty I called Costco. I also looked up Bayside on-line for reference. Bayside shows this unit in 3 color choices, all with a price of $599! Costco customer service said they have been discontinued and will not be reordered. I got one yesterday. If you're thinking about it you should probably act quickly. We have 3 Costcos in the Tucson area and only one had any left.

That looks great-saw one online at Big Lots on clearance for 300$. Report back to us with your findings. Definitely want to get rid of my old glass table and that looks like the perfect solution
