Years ago I bought a cutting table from a fabric store that went out of business. It is 36 inches high and I am 5'4''. It is perfect for me. It sat in the garage for years and when we finished my sewing room, we got it out of the garage and set it up in my NEW spacious (36 X20 feet) sewing room. I am so grateful that I can finally use the table and have everything in the same room. Instead of running to the kitchen table to cut and lay stuff out, I now have that table (kitchen), cutting table, four sewing machines, and my New Joy quilting frame in the same space. Please rejoice with me!
