Have you ever thought about making your own, I have, Its not that hard, My dad, father in law and my son over the years have shown me. This way I get what I want and the color, wheels or no wheels, shelves, drawers, and I have a good time making them. Just a thought. Good Luck

Yes I have two that I got at Ikea. Legs screw on , the height was right and oblong length is good too. I placed mine in an L shape to accomodate both of my machines. One swivel chair between the two works well also. I also place a plastic office mat under them for easy cleaning.

I was given a desk (originally from Office Max) from an lady that is downsizing. I took it apart to bring it home and instead of attaching the drawers to both sides I just attached to one side and left the other side open for my chair.
God does provide, I was with her at a antique store and I mentioned that I was looking for a desk for my sewing machine and that is when she said I could have hers if I could take is apart.. I even has a hole in the right hand side for electrical cord..

If you have an ikea near you I've seen many of their tables 'hacked' into nice sewing tables. http://www.makeithandmade.com/2013/1...-hack.html?m=1
I didn't have one near me but it gave me inspiration to make my own. I even routed out around the machine so a sew steady insert would lay in flat. I used solid wood for my table so it would be heavy enough to not be wobbly or bouncy.
