I went to furniture stores looking for a pub table - can get good deals on damaged tables - doesn't matter if it has a scratch or more - covered with a mat from Joann's and then a big cutting mat. I bought this after I bought one of Joann's cutting tables that completely collapsed after 3 months. This has worked wonderful and is perfect height for me. My table also has sides that drop so I can make it smaller or bigger - it has been a great investment.

I raise my folding table with tall juice cans. sure helps the back.

The PVC pipes really work. My LQS uses them at the shop too.

If you get the bed risers to fit right it will work well.

I use the bed risers with a folding table and it works great!

That is the way I do all my quilting, and computer work, it stops a lot of probs for me :thumbup:

...or you can just cut on your kitchen counter. :)

I either use the floor (not very often because cat hair never seems to disappear) or the toy box (now my hope chest) that my dad made me. It's only 18 inches high, so I have a small cutting mat on top of it and sit on one end and cut at the other. I've gotten quite good at folding things accurately for cutting. All bigger things get cut on the floor.

I've noticed that my back hurts more than my shoulders though and have started using a body-rite posture pleaser. You can google it, it's amazing for back aches when you just want to keep cutting hehe...
