My sewing room doubles as a guest room, so I use a desk covered with cutting mats to do my cutting. When I use it as a desk, I just write or whatever on the mats. I would love to have the top be a little higher and may figure out some way to create risers for it. Then it will be tough to use as a desk, but easier to cut on top of.

I have the table that NJQuilter mentions. The only thing I wish was different--it's 35" wide, not 36! But the height is comfortable and it could be folded down if I didn't have so much under it. --or on it!! If you use a traditional table, there are devices that are of use for dorm beds that can get a table up to the right height for you when standing. They are very stable.

Many years ago I bought a table like the one that Hobbykat1955 uses. I loved it so much that when I moved across country, I bought another. I love it. I seldom drop the leaves. It rolls and the leaves can be dropped easily. The height is right for standing or a drafting chair. The price is affordable and if you want 2, you can have them easily enough.

I have an old Hoosier table I got at an antique store. It has a metal top and is very sturdy. Unfortunately, it always seems to be piled with projects so I end up using my kitchen table or floor.

My sewing room serves double duty also. Sewing room and occasional guest bedroom with a daybed/trundle bed for sleeping. My DH mounted a large board over the daybed that folds down for a cutting board. It's 84" long and about 42" wide and I use the daybed as a place to hold the materials I'm working with at the time, then the board folds back up against the wall when we have the g-kids overnight. It has worked out beautifully.

If you are thinking portable or storable, think about the heavier ones that the legs fold under and not the tables than fold in the middle. You can get pretty sturdy ones fairly cheap at places like Costco and Sam's Club. If room is the problem, when my kids were small and space was tight, I used my bed - BUT - I had 2 pieces of inexpensive wall paneling cut down to 5' (Home Depot will cut them). I stored them flat under the bed and lifted them out when needed. At first I had one of those cardboard cutting boards I would put on top of them. Years later I had my big rotary cutting mat to use. My bed was a bit higher so it was at a good height and I could easily walk around it. Also, a super advantage was that it was my room, so I could walk out, shut the door and not worry about it. Currently I have a heavy piece of plywood that I have painted and sealed laying across the top of 2 shorter filing cabinets. It is perfect height, a chair slides right thru center area, I keep lots of supplies handy in the cabinets and it is easy to take apart when I move!

I have my grandma's dining room table in my sewing room. I use it for cutting.

I had an old wooden dresser in the basement. It has 2 deep drawers and a narrower drawer at the top. I cleaned it up, decoupaged flower to the drawer fronts and now use it as my cutting table. The narrow drawer holds all my rulers and cutters. The deeper drawers hold all my solids fabric sorted by color. It's taller than a table so is the right cutting height for me. My cutting mat fits on top with plenty of room to lay and stack fabrics on both sides. My long rulers fit nicely also. [ATTACH=CONFIG]620997[/ATTACH]

I got a table from church when they got rid of the old heavy 6" ones. My husband cut 1-1/4 or 1-1/2" PVC pipes to fit on the legs to raise it to a height for me. They slipped right over the old metal legs. He also put casters on the legs so I can move it out from the wall for larger things. 2-24x36 cutting mats fit on it with about an 1" overlap on one end. It's just great! You can find these tables on different apps for sale.

Most of the time I just put a cutting board on my ironing board and the height is just right. I have used my dining room table for larger cutting projects, but right now it has a quilt top on it waiting to go to the longarmer after Christmas. I have also used our old kitchen table in my sewing room, but it has so much else on it right now.
