My cutting table is two eight cubicle shelves from Target. We put them back to back horizontally. I just laid my cutting mat right on top. The original plan was to put casters on it for more height, but found this height works perfectly for me. Just recently we went back and bought another matching shelf for my ironing board. This one we did put casters on as I wanted to be able to move it out from the wall when pressing tops. Made a pad for it using a piece of plywood, batting and cotton. Now I also have lots of storage.
