I have a Gristmill cabinet and I love it. I am upgrading to a larger machine so am getting a new one. They are beautifully made and worth the money. I priced some of the pressboard and melamine that cost nearly the same. I would advise buying from a dealer where they will adjust the lift for you and get you all set up. If anyone needs a dealer in PA -- Try Stitch N time in Greencastle. They are also dealers for Bernina and Babylock and the most helpful, honest folks I have ever met. I wouldn't be sewing if it weren't for their encouragement and help.
