Funny.... I had a pic of your cutting table saved on my Pinterest board for when I get around to making a cutting table. LOL
Mine is from IKEA Kallax. 4.5x6’. Used 1” melamine that we found at Home Depot for $20. Added two cup holders for my drinks, and a trash can.DH put it on casters so it’s easily moved, and the whole thing is put together so it can easily be taken apart in the event we ever move

The base of my cutting table is 3 standard drawer units designed for the garage from Lowes. They're kitchen counter height. Self assembly. Sitting on top is 8' x 2' melamine covered plywood cut to 72". The mat is OLFA 2 piece that is 70" long. I can walk around it and don't need to lean over it to reach into the center. It has LOTS of storage.

I put mine together from Ikea furniture and love it! Sorry I don't have a picture, but I will describe it..... I bought 2 "dressers" and put them back to back in the center of my room. Each long side has 8 drawers: 4 small across the top and then 4 larger ones. So that gives me 16 drawers. Each dresser measures 19.5" wide so the width of the 2 together is 39". They are 63" long and 37.5" high. Could not be more perfect! My 3'x5' cutting mat fits on top. The dressers come in several colors: black, white, country blue, country red. After my daughter saw what I had, she bought the same. So sturdy that when I work on a large quilt (like doing the binding), I put my machine on top and stand to sew. I love it! Cost is about $300 per dresser. Hope you consider this...you will love it.

This cabinet is actually for paper crafts (it's from the Martha Stewart line). DH put the extended top on it. I bought it because the drawers were shallow and wide. All my rulers fit in the drawers, including the 25" square one. Also, holds my mats except the biggest. It came with dividers for the drawers that you can arrange anyway you want.

My DH built my cutting table which can be seen on this thread:

I customized it for my needs so its just perfect for the space. Good luck, there are a lot of great ideas posted already. Some a bit pricey and others repurposing, so a little bit for everyone budget, taste and space.
