I have a 4' X 12' table in my sewing room. I store rolling sets of (plastic) drawers beneath it. It works just great; except I do find that it is easy for it to become a "drop off point" for everything that needs to be properly put away (i.e. newest fabric haul or fabrics I pulled out for possible use in a project). It is great for being able to stack project components in their respective groups. I always seem to have multiple projects running concurrently. I have the room arranged so that I can walk all around this table. I did plan the room very thoroughly on paper first. Good Luck and have fun!
