I had my cutting table built in -- with permanent storage under it because I have too much stuff (besides fabric - that goes in a double closet with built in shelves.
The best height for me is the same height as my kitchen counter. No bending or stretching that way. Here's a picture of that part of my new room and one of the sewing table I made with an old desk top and two file cabinets. Just got the cabinets painted this week. Last one shows my bookscases with all the reference for sewing and cooking stuff I love.
This used to be one of the bays in my DH's 3 car garage.

Nancy my dream is to have a work area in the middle of my sewing room that has storage shelves all around underneath, no doors. Having adjustable shelving would be nice and/or pullout shelving. Some open area on all 4 sides between the storage so machines could be set up, when my quilt buddies come around. Electrical outlets that hang from the ceiling center of this table. One wall with table wall to wall and open storeage simaliar to the one in the center. And a long arm some where. Keep in mind this is my "dream sewing area. I only have 730 square feet in my whole condo and my son is sleeping in my living room. He was left with school debts to pay off so he'll probably be living with me for another 4 years unless a miracle happens. But we can all dream. It doesn't hurt to dream

IKEA had some really neat kitchen islands. You can adjust the height to fit your needs.
Mine is a rolling folding kitchen cart I got on sale at a local grocery store with extras. I love it. I can put it away when I have guests, either by rolling it into my sewing studio or folding it up and putting it in the garage.
Unfortunately, I don't see them anywhere anymore. I've even tried online for some friends. If anyone sees them please PM me.
