I am looking for a sewing table and have seen lots of these online but none in the stores. My question is does anyone have one of these and how do they like them, I see walmart has it for 99.00

I have a table by Sauder. I think mine was called a "craft station". It works okay buy is only about 12-14 inches wide so if you are working on a large item it gets a little crowded.

yes i believe it is called a sewing craft table, it is on wheels and closes up so it looks like a cabinet and open a sewing station.how do u like yours

I spent the bucks and bought a full cabinet with 4 drawers, swing arms with extensions that give me a 6' x 8' work area. It also has a hydraulic lift so the machine can be recessed in the cabinet. Would I spend that much money again. NO. I could get by with one of the Sauders.

I think I was adding information as you asked your question. It works great for piecing but when I work on larger items I wish it was wider.

I have one and really like it. It's very sturdy and it does fold in on itself to make a cabinet. It has lots of storage areas and one side has deep shelves. My sewing machine sits on top of it, it doesn't have a recessed area to put the machine in. When I piece, this isn't a problem. For machine quilting, my DH made a platform out of insulation boards and plastic so then the machine is level with the surface.
I got mine at Walmart about 2 yrs ago for about that price and I'm pleased with it.

I have one. Is it the one with the extension that can be folded out to make it bigger? Sounds like it anyway. I love mine.

thanks for all the information, guess I will put an order in for one to be shipped to our local walmart.

Wish you guys lived closer. The Sauder's company is just 30 minutes from my house and they have the most wonderful, beautiful outlet store. We have bought a lot of their shelving and some desks. The only thing I caution, you know they aren't made of solid wood so if you add weight for a long period of time, it will sag, such as bookshelves. I have a file cabinet that is holding up very well, but it isn't large. And bookshelves have no supports to speak of, desks are better supported.

I have the same one you are ordering. I couldn't find a better piece in the same price range. I had hubby cut a hole in the top of mine and put a shelf at the right level to sit my machine in so the bed is level with the top of the table.

I don't think I've ever closed mine up except when I moved it from one side of the room to the other.

As for having more surface area to help hold up the weight of large quilts--I keep a table just to my left all the time and put another small table just in front of my cabinet when quilting a large quilt. Works great! And if you really want an airlift; you can by one and install it yourself.
