I purchased a rolling kitchen island at an unfinished furniture store. It has a shelf about 8 inches from the bottom and a drawer right under the top. I made a removable ironing surface by covering a 1/4 sheet of plywood with batting and a silver heat proof cover that I just stapled underneath the plywood to hold it taunt. This provides me with at least 45 inch long ironing surface and at least a good arms length deep width. All I have to do to cut on it is throw on a cutting matt. There is room underneath for between 4 and six bins for fabric storage. I don't know how I quilted without it. It is the perfect height for cutting and ironing. I am 5' 4' tall. I am sure I spent less that $100.
