What a wonderful early Christmas present and I'm so glad that he gave it to you early! He was right! If I were you and got it on Christmas I would have been like awesome! but maaaan... I could have been using it if you gave it to me early lol.
I don't have the physical room for a cutting table like that. I have my matt on a desk that I also use as a second sewing desk when I have company for sewing which often I do...
Someday... I do dream of having a big roomy craft room... some day.....
