I like to be able to move around the other side, so I don't hae to turn the fabric or mat, so I use an adjustable drafting table that can be set flat and pretty high so no leaning over. it's not as big as I'd like, but my space doesn't allow for more anyway--holds a 36x23" mat with some space at the side to set some cutter/ruler organizers. Underneath I can put tubs of fabric, etc.
