I bought the cutting table at Joann's and I really like it. I wish I would have bought it sooner. My back used to hurt using my dining room table. Use a coupon or when on sale though.

I've seen them in a few places for $10. That's reasonable. I wouldn't sell them for less. Your time is worth something plus the cost of the fabric.

I've been wanting to make some too.
