Hi,
I need some advice. I am looking at buying a new sewing cabinet. No one in my area carries cabinets in stock. So decided to look online. So many choices and everyone has opinions on which is best.

I have narrowed it down to Horn or Perfexion. Have one guy telling me Horn is much better, and another guy telling me that they are the same thing. Has anyone shopped theses to brands and what did you find out?

Horn is about $300 more. So is it worth it?

Here are the two cabinets that I have narrowed it down to:

I have a horn cabinet and love it. Have you checked with www.kenssewingcenter.com. They have great prices and may carry both brands.

Have you also checked out arrow cabinets? I had one of those for my other machine and it was great also.

The top one looks just like mine and I love it! It folds in the middle but I keep it up and it has tons of space for quilts.

Just an opinion but if the top one is a Horn, I think that would be the best. The left support part of the table looks good.

All sewing cabinet companies charge wayyyy too much for my tastes. But, you were asking for opinions. Hope you are happy with what you decide to do. God bless you.

:-D

I have a Horn chest-4 small drawers-2 large drawers and really like this brand. I have always looked at Horn or Koala cabinets-though either would be great. Couldn't justify cost of new since I already had a good cabinet although it's 30 yrs old!

I like the extra space on the left of the first one.

I have a Horn cabinet (like the first picture but different color) with the little 5 drawer chest that fits under the space on the left. I love my cabinet and couldn't ask for anything more in it.

My husband and I looked at several different brands at a quilting expo last year and he liked the Horn tables the best. Said they looked built better to him.
