Here's how I tamed mine ... a brass newspaper holder for the fireplace!!
Similar in concept to yours, heavier, thus more stable ... and low cost at the thrift store.
The pails are a three step garbage system for the cutting table.
Pail for real garbage ... blue garbage can for recyclable paper garbage ... milk can inside of it holds fabric crumbs.
The wooden tray keeps other odds and ends under control. Just three things to remover from the cutting table, when I clear the deck to sandwich a quilt.
