At church we have the Costco folding tables and we upend old coffee cans and put them under the legs to raise them up. I cut on one of 3 places, the kitchen bar, my dining room table (with an extra large mat) or on the back of the old desk that my sewing machine sits on down in the sewing room. I am short and the desk is a bit low but I try to do most of the cutting up on the kitchen bar (it holds a 24x36 mat).
