On these computer tables do you think the shelf is strong enough for a sewing machine?
I have one of these tables, have been using it for years. Probably close to 10. Don't have enough room to keep it up in the house here in NC but the new house in MD will have room. Can't wait to get it out again.
I have never had an issues with it bouncing. It is a very solid, sturdy table. The placement of the legs is such that it has a VERY wide stance. And the distribution of the weight is great, so no bouncing. And that has even been with sewing REALLY LOOOOOOOOONG seams on curtain panels - long and relatively fast - and have had no issues.
There are multiple depths that you can sit the shelve out. There are levels that can fit my new Brother, both of my Featherweights, my Serger and my old Singer. The shelf is well constructed - very well supported. The shelf is out of the same material as the top and all of the supports are steel and very tight. I have had my old Singer mechanical (35#) and my Featherweight in its case (18#) on the shelf at the same time. And they stayed that way for several days - don't ask me why they were there together or why they were left, I didn't do it. So that was almost 55# and there were no issues at all.
I purchased mine at Sams many moons ago. But I have seen them at Sams and BJs in the past few months. Definitely a good purchase and well worth the cost. Can't wait to get settled in Maryland and be able to use it again.
