As for cutting, I use those fold up tables from Costco, they last forever and can be stuck into closets. At least I'm told some people actually do clean them off and put them in closets.
These fold up tables come in several sizes and shapes, latest is a large circle.
Those are the tables (2) I have in my sewing area here, in an "L" shape. They are great tables, and my bed risers work great on them. I pull out one and put the plywood sheet and the risers on it so I can walk around it when I have a large quilt to baste.
