I went to Ikea and bought 2 of their 4 x 4 storage cube sets (Expedit is the style). I joined them back to back - making the cubes double deep. I made (with a little handyman help) a frame of 4 x 4 lumber, attached rolling casters to it and then attached the frame to the bottom of the cube. This raised the cube to counter height and the right height for cutting without bending over. I permanently attached a large cutting matt - it covered about 1/2 of the surface. The cubes below have a lot of storage space - and deep if you need it. Otherwise you have a normal size depth on 2 sides. Being able to roll it around makes it possible to move it out of the way if you arent using it. The extra storage space is great.
