Ok. This is going to make my hubby sound like a real cheapo but........ He made 2 saw horses that he used heavy duty plywood on. I covered it in a picnic table vinyl cloth. He was able to make it just the right height for me and made it about 7 foot long so there is tons on storage beneath. A few years later we were at Ikea and there was a 5 foot long 1.5 inch white board (cost under $10.00) and I set it on top of my vinyl. I have plenty of room for cutting and clutter all in the same spot. He did a fantastic, very inexpensive job!
