It wouldn't work for me with my sewing machine - it does not appear it would hold the weight of a heavy machine, and when I sew I do more than just push the fabric thru the machine. But if I was still working, I would definitely buy one for my desk. One place I worked had the adjusting work space, with the touch of a button it lifted the work space up to stand and work and that was wonderful. But for some reason when we moved to a new location they left those in the building.

I don't have a good cutting height table. I was looking at the Ikea version:

I never got to the store to look at it because I talked my husband into building something. It hasn't happened yet, but maybe next week.

I bought the Ikea one and really like it. I put a slightly larger plywood top on it (it was the top from the old cutting table trimmed down a bit.
What I like about it - I can raise it up for cutting and working, and then lower it down if I want a large table for sewing if I need a large area for supporting something heavy.
