I have a big, 48 inch square pub table and I love it for cutting. My huge rectangular mat is a bit too big on the long side, but it just hangs over between the table and the wall. The additional height of the table makes and enormous difference when I am cutting. Got the all wood, very sturdy table on sale at big lots for a little under $100. I had to put it together myself, but that was no problem, and the table has been well worth every single penny it cost.
