I have the Bertha cheap (500 dollars) table that you have to put togather yourself and it is not easy. needs two people.
They cut the insert to fit your machine.
This table is made for the bigger machines. I have a Sapphire 830 and it fits perfect.

The only accessory extras I really think are necessary (for me), are the foot pads and the sewing machine insert. The insert is why you are buying this table in the first place!
This is a functional, sturdy, attractive alternative to expensive cabinetry by Koala and Horn, for example. It also fits into smaller sewing room areas. I found this option when Tony brought his first tables to his first major quilt show in New Hampshire as a vendor. He had a tremendous response and has made additional table size options, as you see now, at the feedback from customers for what they thought they needed.
I am not related to Tony nor do I get any benefits from this recommendation - I am simply a satisfied customer!

I am five foot ten, myself. This has been designed for that not to be a problem. When this is shipped, it does require putting together - that did not seem to be any problem, nor did it take a long time.
This sewing table http://www.seweziusa.com/ is a small portable table that I have seen used by guild members at quilting retreats. They seem to like it and recommend it as well - I have no experience with it myself - it didn't fit my needs for a larger surface, more reasonable height, and permanently set up table. However, it is advertised frequently in the quilt magazines and is another option to think about. It is a much smaller unit but does serve its purpose for those who have chosen it.

I really did not use it or look at it closely. It's main selling feature is its portable size and the person I saw use it is not a tall person. It does not have any where near the structural strength, adequate height and table top space.
There have not been any other sewing tables that I have seen in recent years that are in a lesser price range than the Koala or Horn cabinet styles. They could be out there but I haven't seen them. I go to several major shows a year here in New England. Machine Quilters Expo, Mancuso World Quilt Show, Sewing and Quilting Expo to name a few.

I see this thread is kind of old...but if you haven't found a table yet ....I just bought the Gidget 2 made by Arrow with the acrylic insert for my Viking Sapphire 830 and it's totally sturdy and works very well. I got it at Leah Day's website Daystyle Design....they are running a sale now and there's free shipping to the lower 48. Originally 299....they are $229 now.
