House things

I have been wanting a new work table for a while now. My dining room table has been sufficing, but besides worrying that I'm going to run the rotary blade over it, it's really too short to be a good cutting table. I have alternated between cutting on the kitchen floor, the living room floor when I lived with hardwoods, and I think I'm getting too old for it.

What I really want is a nicer, higher version of this:
But for many reasons, it's wrong. For one, it's IKEA, which Kennet will not let me spend good money at because nothing wears well. It's also $500, which isn't ideal. What it comes down to for me is that it's just too short. So that won't be happening.

I thought I remembered there was some kind of recycled house material place in Seattle and sure enough, a little google search led me here. Maddi, I saw a screen door on it and thought of you- by the way- did you put house renovation on the exempt list? You must have, but here's some more ideas. I'd love to buy a flat door (as opposed to one with designs carved into it) to make into a table top, or these window frames for hanging on a wall somewhere.
