New Cutting Table

I've been cutting on a card table for the last six months, since I moved off the dining table into a sewing room. The card table is really low and very hard on the back when doing a lot of cutting. So I have been searching for a couple of months for a new table, and finally found one that I like. It is actually a kitchen trolley made of bamboo, with shelves and drawers which I love having. I left off the casters, so it is 32" high. A bit on the high side for me, but much better than too low!! So, I am now a happy cutter.

That table looks great, especially those little drawers. It will be great for supporting a larger quilt while you are working in it too!

This is such a cool looking cutting table! I am so jealous since I am still cutting on a piece of wood on the floor.

What a great idea! I might have to borrow it when I finally get myself sorted :)

That's a great idea. Doesn't it make a difference when the table is the right height?

Nice neat space! I too have looked at kitchen trolleys.... sadly the IKEA one I LOVE is 2 2 2 2 2 expensive!
