It is a great table... Keep in mind that you can do something similar, but on a smaller scale. I made mine with 3 bookcases from Ikea, but there are pics of ones out there with even just one. The really nice thing for me is that, in addition to the storage it allows, I've got a counter height work surface. I've cut for hours - literally - and not gotten a back ache.

To make a smaller one, just use one book case (for example, in the second pic, just the one on the far left end). That size would be about 30" wide and 15" deep. Depending on room, you could use the top as is or add a top anywhere from that size to a few inches larger all around.
