My cutting table is 36".. tall enough that my back doesn't hurt.. low enough that I can still get the right angle on the cutter to cut easily.. and I can reach clear across the top..
My cutting/work table used to have another life.. They started out as display units with 2 large storage drawers under the top.. they are 36"X60" and used to sit back to back with jammies or undies or shirts in packages displayed on top with overstock in the drawers.. The Walker Scott department store went out of business years ago.. I bought 2 for $15 each.. My hubby built a box to fit under and raise them to the proper height. They sit end to end in my basement.. I can cut anything on them.. They're perfect.. It's amazing what you run into now and then. Heaven help us if we ever have to move them again, they weigh a ton!!
