I use a butchers cart which has wheels on two legs easy to move storage underneath, I got it in IKEA and was about £40 sterling it's the ideal height.

When we remodeled, we had an upper cabinet left over. My husband added legs with castors. He then added the top. Love, love, love it!

I went a bit extreme because of the many uses of this room and had something custom built that folds down. The top and two sides of the picture frame fold out to become the legs of the table. When I don't need to use it it folds up and is a picture on the wall (sticking out a bit so there is storage in the cabinet behind the photo). I had a large cutting mat from Joanne's that I cut to fit the size of the desk top with a pair of kitchen scissors.

I have yet to make a pressing board that I can fit on top. But am looking at making one using this youtube video as my guide: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4LGb...&feature=share I think I'm going to add some loops to the pressing board so it can be hung in the closet when not in use.

Don't mind the clutter in the photo :$

I bought mine from Joann's Love it.

I have one of those cutting tables from Joann's, it folds down to only 12" X 36". Doesn't take up much space. I think it's 36" high. Opened it holds my 33" X 58" cutting mat. Sometimes I cut on my DR table , but it does bother my back.

I use a long section of my kitchen counter that doesn't get used for cooking or food prep... so my cutting mat usually lives there unless we have company. Hopefully next year I'll be working on my own sewing room.

I Love my mobile kitchen island. Casters, storage below.

Thanks for all the replies. There were some great ideas.

I'm lucky though. My talented hubby found some particle board in the basement and set to work building for me. He's essentially making a cube - 36" high, 24" deep and 48" long with one shelf inside. I'll plop my 2' x 4' piece of wood right on top because it's the perfect size for me and my space. He's going to put the whole thing on casters so we can move it to access the drawers occasionally. We will have locking casters in the front. Because he's being so nice about this, I told him he can use all the newly created storage space for his tools. Heaven knows if I get that space, I'll just acquire more unneeded fabric!

I have a six ft banquet table that I got at SAMs. My husband made risers so it is the right height for cutting. I also use the Go on this table. For big occasions with lots of company...I take it upstairs without the risers and have extra space for people to sit at. It sits against the wall, so I do not need to move for any other reason. My sewing machine totes sit under the table.

I bought a fairly inexpensive desk (table) at Walmart and set it on bed risers. It is almost exactly the size of my cutting mat, the perfect height for me and doesn't take up much space in the corner.
