It's also big enough to sandwich quilts (before I got a longarm). The only problem is that I tend to stack stuff on it and have to move the junk off (or down to one end) before I can use it for cutting.
My DH built two shelving units and set them up with a board on top of them the way you did your bookcases. I am taller than average, so he made them a little higher than the kitchen island.
I bought baskets for the shelves and that is where I keep my WIP and future projects.
