I am 5'6" tall and have some back issues, so with that said, I like my table taller than average. I use a tall stool if I need to sit for long or most of the time while cutting just stand. But, I have a wonderful cutting table that is on folding legs. I went to the local hardware store and bought PVC pipe large enough to accommodate the legs of the table (3"wide), added an end fitting to reinforce the edges next to where the table leg inserts, and cut them in different lengths according to different uses. Now, all I have to do is raise the table slightly, leg by leg, slide the extenders onto the legs until I have all four height adjusters in place and the table magically rises to the desired height. You can easily make these without much effort and some stores will even do the cutting of the pipe for you if you know ahead what lengths you need. It is inexpensive and I don't have to buy another table.
