I am 6' tall, so cutting on a folding table is out of the question! Our guild holds 2 retreats a year, and we have taken the 6" tall bed risers (plastic, light weight and stack together) to put under the tables. EVERYONE seems to enjoy having the table higher. We have several ironing tables as well, so no one has to wait long for a chance to press. Some ladis have a mini cutting board and ironing board at their stations, but still get up to press larger items. I love a retreat! I take way more than I can possible get to, but I always seem to finish more than I thought I would! Take lots of munchies!
