DH built mine. I ordered two desk height (29") cabinets with 3 drawers each, back and trim for corners from the lumber yard. After DH make a top for it, 31", perfect height for me. He extended the top over the sides and back. I picked white sparkle formica for the top, a little slick. Ordered a machine lift, traced around my sewing machine & cut the opening. He put bracing underneath to mount the lift and drilled a hole in the back down low for the cord to go through. I love it!
