    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

    Try Ikea. They have all types and sizes of tables and adjustable legs that will go with most of their tables. You buy the top and the legs you want separate.

    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.
