Re: DH improved my cutting table big time
My son had an extra table/desk from Ikea that he gave me. The one with the nice top that all totaled would have cost me about $140 if I bought one just like it at Ikea. But it has the adjustable A legs. I was able to adjust to just about 36" and it is great. My previous drop leaf cabinet on casters and my storage drawers all fit underneath this table which is great. I can just slide out the drop leaf cabinet if I need more surface for some reason.
And, the added benefit of it being a hand me down is that my granddaughter had carved a heart in the top when he wasnt' looking.  Now I'm reminded of her every time I work at the table. |

Re: DH improved my cutting table big time
Patsy--I'm short by most standards--5 ft 2 but when it comes to cutting and pressing I go for near 36" heights. That's when my back thanks me and it has the top priority. Arms have learned to adjust.
