What do you use? How big is it and where did you buy it from?

I have two kitchen level counter tops. Had them custom made. I stand to scrap, and the height allows for two drawers under each that hold 12x12" pp or cs on edge.

Are you going to tell us about yours, amom23? I use 3 closet maid 9 cube holders as my base with a mdf white board for the top. It's about 37" high. 2 of the units are side by side with 1 unit back yo back with the first. It's set up like a kitchen counter peninsula.

I have an old wooden desk 30" x 60". It's desk height, about 30". It has 3 drawers which are 12 x 14 x 3. I got it on Craigslist along with a file cabinet. I love the size of the workspace, but it takes up a lot of room without offering much storage. I would like to have the option to stand while scrapping. If I had my choice, I would use the STENSTORP island from IKEA. We have one in our kitchen, and someday, I hope to repurpose it for my craft desk.

I have a big U shaped desk that I bought new at a commercial office furniture place, but I pretty much only have my computers and cutter on it. I also have two 8' work tables butted up together to make a huge work surface on that side of the room, that's where I usually spread out my stuff to work on things. I have a separate sewing space set up on the other side of the basement.

I have an old timber desk that is a little bit over 4' x a ittle bit over 2' that I bought on ebay. I keep a fair bit of stuff on it but it's big enough to hold roughly half my supplies and still give me enough space to create a double page layout.

I have an IKEA desktop and trestle legs. It's about 60"x30". The trestle height is adjustable. I'm short but like to stand and scrap so I have it at a suitable height for me. I store scraps on one trestle and a box and of various punches on the other.

I use a 4 foot black folding table, that I bought from Walmart.com
It's really sturdy, but super lightweight. Measures 20"x48"

I have an old kitchenette size drop leaf table with a 6' folding table perpendicular to it. Hubby (notice there is no "dear"attached) decided his tv needed more room so he rearranged and now I have only half the size scrapping space I did before. I also stamp on top of my chest freezer in the adjoining utility room. I make it work.

Scrap 'n Cube all the way. I have had mine for years and years, and it still looks new. Totally customizable, and I moved it across the country (TX to NC) with no issues. It truly is an heirloom piece and my girls all have dibs on it. LOL. www.scrapncube.comThere is also a scraproom tour on my blog (link in siggie).

My main desk is an oversized A frame desk that I bought at Target 10 or more years ago that sits in the middle of the room. Along the back wall, I have a series of IKEA table tops on some IKEA drawers. I have three stations, sewing, computer and printer/die cutter.

I have a 6ft white folding banquet table with Recollections cubes on top as my desk - it works for me and fit my budget

I am of no help! My scrap table is our dining room table (from Room and Board). It's also where we eat (no eat-in kitchen), where we pay bills, use the laptop, do homework, etc. It's the most used piece of furniture in the house!

Patter's post reminded me of a thread from a few months ago where some of us revealed our scrap rooms. HERE it is

I have a 6' table that I sit at and a 4' table on each side of me that I bought at Sam's. Nothing fancy but there's tons of room and it's easy peasy!

I created a "U" shaped space using 2 Alex 5-drawer units on legs and a desk top from Ikea as my desk/table. I use 2, 8 cube, Kallax units layed down on the long side, also up on legs as the other 2 sides to make up the "U" shape.
The front of my desk is facing a wall so I have 2, 12" shelves attached to the wall above giving me plenty of storage and display and working space.

I have an L shaped standing desk from the As Is section from Ikea. Underneath where I scrapbook it I have expedit cubes with kits, the short part of the L where my computer is has an Alex drawer unit with my cameo on top.

I was using a big L shaped desk with everything on it. For Christmas I got new craft room furniture from Ikea. I wanted more drawers and my supplies hidden but more organized. I got a big butcher block table that Im using that sits in the middle of my room with my cabinets behind me. I really like it so far

I use a huge corner computer desk I bought at Walmart for $99. I took it over after my daughter graduated college and moved out. I have my computer to run my Silhouette and my Cricut Explore and lots of cubbies for stuff. I can also stream movies and TV shows while I craft. It sits in the corner of the second bedroom in my apartment.

I have a cheap 4' dining table from IKEA. I like it because I can scratch it and stain it with ink. It was about $80, so I am not concerned about damage.
I do wish it was longer. Maybe I'll look into that in the spring.

my table is a square pub table in dark wood I wanted a tall table so I could stand to craft. We bought it in the clearance section of a furniture store.
I really should get a piece of glass cut for the top.

I have a desk from IKEA. It has a removable top and sits on two small Alex drawer sets. It's nice and long, which is good for me to have my laptop and Cameo on.

I have 3 tables and I don't use any of them for scrapping right now. One is a 6ft long table with folding legs. One is a vintage enamel table with fold out sides. The last one is currently being used for my dining room table but I got it to be my eventual scrapbook table. It is a square table on a pedestal. I don't use the other two tables because they are piled high with unorganized scrap stuff.

Are you going to tell us about yours, amom23 ? I've been using an old wooden kitchen table. It's been fine except a little too small (I need more length). I think I am going to replace it with a Linnmon table from IKEA.

In 2007 (or 2008?), I stumbled upon the last Pier One project desk (resembles the old Pottery Barn version) in the store, slightly damaged (in a hidden spot) and on clearance. The store manager even gave me an additional discount (score!) to cart it away. Serendipity!

It's a kitchen table that I picked up at a yard sale. It's pretty solid, and I can use my punches on it. I have another "desk" in my room that holds my laptop and printer. It's a door sitting on top of two filing cabinets.

I have THIS ONE from Target and LOVE it. I've had it for several years. I have large cloth lined baskets on the shelves. Okay I love your desk! Do you ever feel a little cramped for leg room? That would be my only hesitation since I've always had a table so lots of open space underneath.

That would be my only hesitation since I've always had a table so lots of open space underneath. I don't, because the space is pretty wide, but I also have short legs.
