I use an old folding metal table that my mom used as a cutting table. It is way too short, so I put metal coffee cans under the legs, a piece of MDF on top to make it larger. It now measures 40 x 70 and is 36" tall, with a 35 x 70 cutting mat. Just perfect for me at 5'5". We have to be creative! I originally set this up when I made clothes to cut patterns out with. Thank goodness it is large enough to cut on and also have a stack of junk on it too!
