I have Bertha because it was cheaper than other cabinets. It was difficult to put togather.
The end pieces do not drop down, they only fold over the top.
It is very heavy since made from pressed board not wood.
But it works for me since my machine is larger than standard machines and I needed a cabinet to fit the larger machines.
It is 7 ft long when open. I dont have room to use the back extension but would like to.
It has plenty of room on the left for quilting .
I bought mine when it first came out so was only $550. You can see it in my Avatar, part of it anyway.

i have the Horn quilter's dream table, and the ultimate storage center. I can't say enough about how much I love these two pieces of furniture. my quilter's dream table is almost10 years old and has been moved cross country into 3 different houses, the tables are so sturdy and built truly to last a lifetime. These cabinets are expensive, but the quality is worth it. The bonus is they are made in the USA and come mostly assembled. I think I put the wheels on and that was about it!
I've heard great things about the wallaby, but I'm not familiar with the Bertha. good luck with your choice, I'm sure what ever you pick will be the one that is right for you!

There is a shop hop in a town near me next weekend and several of the vendors carry Horn. I wonder if they ever have hop specials. I'm going to wait until next weekend and find out and if they don't, I'll order the Bertha. Maybe I'll call them during the week and find out.
