I did have this cabinet and I loved it especially the drop down feature on the top. It takes seconds to drop the top down and/or raise it back up. Seems like I bought mine sometime in the late 70's or early80's at the Signer Sewing Center at the time I purchased a new machine. The compartments on the door were wood with the exception of the thread rack which was plastic. I do not know about the rest of the cabinet because I never looked and it had no scrapes or scratches when it moved on to someone else. It is easy to let the machine up and down and to take it out of the cabinet for travel. There is a nice work space to the left of machine. Although the cabinet is a older one, it is well made and would a good buy for anyone needing a cabinet. I do not recall what I paid for it but it was not cheap as I was in my young and stupid era and paid way more for it than I should have. Hopes this helps you out.
