If room is the problem, when my kids were small and space was tight, I used my bed - BUT - I had 2 pieces of inexpensive wall paneling cut down to 5' (Home Depot will cut them). I stored them flat under the bed and lifted them out when needed. At first I had one of those cardboard cutting boards I would put on top of them. Years later I had my big rotary cutting mat to use. My bed was a bit higher so it was at a good height and I could easily walk around it. Also, a super advantage was that it was my room, so I could walk out, shut the door and not worry about it. Currently I have a heavy piece of plywood that I have painted and sealed laying across the top of 2 shorter filing cabinets. It is perfect height, a chair slides right thru center area, I keep lots of supplies handy in the cabinets and it is easy to take apart when I move!
