My DH just received the latest Wood magazine (Better Homes & Gardens; Issue 207, October 2011), featuring a wonderful "workbench" that I think would make a great cutting table for us quilters! I'm not 100% certain the 34 1/2" height would be just right for everyone, but you simply must see this table!
Here's the link, if I did it right:

I've asked my DH to please save this issue for the day when I get a sewing room of my own.
