I have 2 bookdcases with a hollow core door on the top of it for my cutting table. It is THE perfect height (for me anyway... I'm only 5', but...). I love it! My DH also tacked a yardstick along one long edge so I have that to measure with. It wasn't expensive to make & was all together in an afternoon (the bookshelves are just cheapies from WalMart so they had to be assembled).
