I bought a cutting table at Hancock"s that has two fold-down sections, and it becomes a slim 36" long X 14" wide. I have to keep it in the bedroom....not in my sewing room. I don't use it a lot, so I keep it covered with a beautiful antique quilt of my mother's. I fold the quilt around it and pin it to fit the table, like a tailor-made cover. For my sewing room, I bought an antique buffet with huges drawers, just the right height. I refinished it and I placed a small cutting mat on the top , and it serves the purpose for my rotary cutting for quilts.
