T-Anne, I'm not sure if it's an all te time discount; it was noted in my Presidents Day sales email so it might ave just been for the holiday.

We got the table put together and it is now upstairs. I'll go tomorrow to get a couple of shelves for the wall and get everything organized. The hubby likes the table a lot. He wanted to know what I was going to use the swing out side for, since I didn't have another machine. I told him I thought I'd make it a place to iron. He looks at the box, sees the photo with a serger and says "why don't you get one of those things?" He is such an enabler!

I just wanted to tell you that I have this table. I love it. HOWEVER, watch for the edge where you set your sewing machine. It is very sharp and you have to keep kids and dogs away from it. Bess has bumped her head and I have bumped against it and scratched my arm. If you have some white duct tape or something, it might help. My work area is open when I am sewing and I leave it there until I am done. Then I clean up everything and close it up until I need it again. The sewing machine fits on the floor under the shelf in the front there. I don't use the back just because I don't have the room to pull it out and open it up. The drawer is kind of wonky as is the door. Make sure you remember to unlock the wheels in the front when you open and close it. I leave a little room on the "table" where the sewing machine goes and keep my scissors, my orange stick and a can of pop or glass of wine there when I am working! I do NOT use the table for a cutting board. I have my Olfa mat on the top - the 12x18 and that works absolutely perfect for me when I am cutting squares. I keep my cd player, my tool basket, my dog-ear bowl, pins, lamp and my "getting ready to bloom" amaryllis. I put it together myself. I figured if I was the one to use it, I wanted to put it together myself. It isn't hard, but you will realize that it isn't solid walnut!!!!!!!!! Which, if I had my druthers, I would much rather have, but being that I don't have a walnut sewing table, I am very happy with this one! The drawer is quite narrow (small) and don't plan on putting a whole lot of stuff in there - It just "ain't" gonna fit! But it does keep the stuff you don't use as often out of the way. Like candy and stuff!!!!! Enjoy your new sewing table. I do love mine!!!! It has become my second home. It is placed in front of the window facing east and I can see the sunrise, the neighbors walking their dogs or their children, greet them out the window in the summer. My husband gave it to me for Christmas, 2010. Enjoy. Edie

Katie,
I'm so happy for you! It sounds like things are really going well and you are up and on your way to sewing some very special quilts! Happy days! Enjoy your "new" sewing area and thanks for sharing it with us. Also, thanks for your service to our country. My future son-in-law is in Afghanistan right now.
