I'm short (5'2" if I stretch) and I cut at a counter height table and it is perfect for me. I'm able to stand up straight so easy on my back. I also use it to sandwich my quilt when I glue baste it. Anything lower and my back feels it.

I haven't read all of the responses, but I use a banquet table that is on bed risers! It has worked and I love it. No more back pain and pretty inexpensive to do.

I'm in the bed riser camp also. Got mine from WalMart.com & had them shipped to my nearest store so no shipping costs. Mine have 3 different heights so if I ever change tables I should still be able to use them.

I am using a large, tall (probably bar table height) desk to cut on and I love the height!! I don't think I could go back to using anything shorter!!

I use the island in the kitchen for cutting. If I want the counter for cooking I usually have to clean all the sewing stuff off first.

I took my breakfast room table from the old house that was too big for the breakfast room in this house and bought those little things that you use to raise up a bed. Put them under the legs and it's the perfect height.

I'm 5'9" tall, and use the countertop in our bar area for cutting. It's a great height. When I travel and sew, I always come home with a backache from cutting or pressing on surfaces that are lower than that.

Yes!

And a SAFE height for cutting. I am 5"2". A table that is 32" height is the perfect height for my stature. I use a mobile kitchen island. 29" is the standard table height. Too low for me. My Back aches.

I actually use a lower height for cutting. I have a counter in my kitchen that is lower because of the height of the windows. The counter was intended as a computer station and an area to set out family buffets and so on, but that long counter makes a wonderful sewing area and also room for a larger mat with glorious sunlight. I like the lower height because I can see the edge of the fabric and edge of the my ruler easier. Just a personal preference and what you have close at hand and get used to using daily.

I also put bed risers under a folding table I bought at WalMarts. I love it because I don't have to stay hunched over a table to cut.
