I have had one for a few years and really like it. I wish the machine was level with the table, but I am not handy enough to do it. When fmq, I butt a table against the back side to help support the quilt.

BK I'm trying to talk DH into cutting a recess for my machine, too. The piece he made with foam boards works well. I also butt a table or ironing board up against mine to give my quilt support while quilting. I wouldn't have room for anything larger in my sewing room and really don't need anything that big most of the time. Thanks for mentioning the lift-I'll look into that, altho I never put my machine away either.

I just got one from Joanns; it is orginally 219 but I got it for 137. It took only a few hours to put it together. My biggest obsticle was my nails are long and there were a few small screws. It has a drawer; a fold out back to make it larger (I use that space under it for storage and a pull out shelf which is great for another machine or one of those small ironing clothes for the small things while you are sewing. I love it. I was going to send you a photo but their server is down. I had to order mine but it only took 2 weeks to come in.

I have 2 of these. I bought one and one was given to me. I have it set up in a L shape right now. When I need more space I take the other one that doesn't have my machine in it and put it in front of the other one. When I'm done I just wheel it back to where it was. My BIL cut a hole in the one my machine is in so it is flush. Works for me. :thumbup:

Thanks to osterporosis I'm now only 5' 1/2 lost 2 inches. Which since I've always been short doesn't really bother me. Most things are too tall for me as it is. But there are worse things in life than being short so I don't mind at all.

I have the Sauder Sewing table. Got it at Walmart for $99 and put it together myself. I love it. Great sewing center. It has the leaf on the left hand side that is held up by opening the wide storage door. It allows for storage of your machine (which I don't), had a side with shelves for storage. It was not only work the money but the time to put it together. It looks like a nice regular piece of furniture when it is all closed up.
