I bought a small farm table 30 x 42 inches (white legs oak top) and put it on bed risers for the correct height, My 36" cutting mat fits on top with a few inches to spare. While not terribly large, it's super sturdy and just the right size so that I can't pile a multitude of fabric on top of it, just what I'm cutting and then I put any left over fabric away. Never really looks messy.
