I have a 2' folding table that I bought at Costco for about $30--maybe less. I use it in my sewing room to hold up the weight of a quilt when I'm sewing on binding, sit my embroidery machine on it so it can do it's thing while I sew, and use it as a sit down cutting table.
A small ironing board might also work for you. That's what I used before I bought the little fold up table.
