my 'too low' cutting table grew with 4 large cans of tomato sauce...and i will be adjusting an old cabinet and getting an ironing top for it before our Thursday sewing group! what a good idea! and one less thing (the ironing board, which i use mostly for folding tables, anyway) in the middle of the room.

What a great idea. Added storage is bonus.

Really nice. That is a great idea. It is always nice to have the extra storage space. It seems there's never enough.

What a great idea! The storage comes in handy I bet. What did the top measure out to be if you don't mind my asking.

My "Big Board" is 24" from front to back and 60" long.

The china cabinet bottom is 18" from front to back and 50" wide. It is 33" high.

Great idea! All the extra storage would be put to use by me!

That's a *brilliant* idea! I'm definitely saving this idea for future reference.
