Without reading the other posts, I have an old large buffet type folding table. I am short but using it for cutting still hurts my back. I've solved that problem by simply removing the rubber feet from it and using 6 inch lengths of pvc pipe to raise it. I've added endcaps to protect my carpet. This way I can have a standard height table if I want to use it with my sewing machines to give me more free-motion space or add the legs whenever I want it higher. Cheap remedy that works for me.
