I found a high "bar-type" table in the clearance section of Nebraska Furniture Mart. It is the perfect height to use as a cutting table. I used to cut on the floor :)
Try putting blocks under the table legs to raise it to the right height so you don't have to bend over & hurt your back. I have mine at 36", and it works for me - I'm 5'6" and I have serious vertabrae problems. My chirpractor told me this is the right height for me. His wife is a quilter, too, so he knew better than to tell me to stop sewing!
