I've had back problems for a couple years but since my last visit to the osteopath I've actually listened and continued with the exercises he gave me. My problem was quads tightening up which starts a chain reaction, moving round and causing back pain. A few streches ever few days and I've been fine for a few months now.

I've not had a back problem since I stopped keeping my wallet in my back pocket ( seriously... )

This is a very comfortable height for me.
I lied apparently :D not half way up my forearm it turns out.
If I stand straight alongside and straighten my arms, the palms of my hands sit perfectly on the table.

That equates to about a 900 table to me then, remember my arms are long !
It’s more about how far you have to bend mate, lifting your arms is the easy bit.
If you can get adjustable saw horses that go to a metre, that’s where I’d start, and then work down.

This is my second table that’s used when I need two set ups.
It’s made up with two toughbuilt C700’s & two C500’s, but they’re far too low for you.
C 700’s are height adjustable, C 500’s not
I just put two 12mm sheets on screwed together, very stable. Carpet takes out vibration and you can cut flat on table in to carpet which is sacrificial.
So there’s no need to overhang the tile when doing cut outs for niches whatever.
