I want a cutting table!!!
#101
There are lots of options for cutting tables, depending on the space you have and your budget. I got two inexpensive bookcases from Staples and laid a solid core door on top. That gives me lots of room for cutting and stacking, and it's the perfect height for me. Others have found that their kitchen counter is the perfect height for cutting. I looked at the JoAnn's cutting tables, but they were smaller than I wanted and I thought they might be shaky. Others on the board have reported success with them.

The first picture is of the cutting table my husband made for me. It's cut from a full sheet of plywood and he put a Formica top on it. And for "legs" he made a small bookshelf. It is standard kitchen counter height.
The second picture is the "JoAnn's table" and the only way to keep it from being wobbly is to fasten it to the wall in a few places.

My daughter has one but it seems a bit wobbly for me. I have laid one of those large folding cutting boards on my bed and used that. Now I use a small kitchen table in my sewing room or a 6' folding table I got at Freds for around $30. But mostly I use my Go! on whatever table I'm using.

I got the one from Joanns about a yr ago and love it. The one with the drop down sides. It's a good height. At first I thought it would be too high since I'm short but it works out really great. I used the coupon on it to save money. Go slow putting it together and don't tighten all of the screws of one section at once and you'll be fine. I had no problems except for not paying attention putting the rollers on; there are 8, 4 of one kind and 4 of another. Minor problem and easy enough to fix. I'd buy another one in a heartbeat.
