My aunt has a table built into a sewing room in her home that is just for cutting fabric and wrapping gifts. I always thought it was a goofy idea to have a table dedicated to such a use. Then, a couple years ago at Christmas I was wrapping a gift for my wife on our kitchen table and deftly hacked one of her new placemats in half while cutting the wrapping paper. Let me warn you guys, that is a big deal to a woman. That is when I saw the brilliance in a table solely for cutting stuff.

Evidently, lots of people see the validity of a table of that sort. If your home does not have a table for the purpose fret not, Birkiland has your fix. The company offers a product it calls Cutting Table No. 1, which is basically a cardboard table specifically made for cutting stuff. The table features three drawers under the top for storing junk.

The surface of the table is covered in a white material that provides a smooth and firm surface for cutting. The maker of the table also says you can use the table for geeky things too, such as playing Dungeons & Dragons. The tabletop also doubles as a storage box when folded and the table is aircraft safe. When set up the table measures 150 x 120 x 93 cm. The catch to the table is that it costs $399, which seems expensive for what is basically a cardboard box.
