I read somewhere that the best height for a cutting table is no more than 4 inches below your elbow.
Now, that sounds like a nice set up with lots of room, too! I think I've read something similar on the height, too. Ideally, it's even nicer if we can have our forearms supported on the table. That tip came from my Physical Therapist. She said it cuts down on the fatigue and strain, all the way up to our shoulders. Thanks for sharing. :)
