I have two long bouffet tables in an "L" shape, and I bought 4 bed risers (cheap-K-mart or Bed Bath and Beyone has them, as well as many others) and when I want to cut, I simply put one of the tables on the risers-it is easily done and I can do it by myself without any problem. Sometimes I also will use the risers under the legs of the kitchen table, which is wider if I need it.
