My "sewing table" is a 59" wide "Mission" computer desk. We left off the keyboard shelf and sawed off approximately 2 inches from the legs to make the desk 27 inches high. It has two drawers on the right side and a storage place with door on the left. It has shelves and dividers on the top where I put my manuals, patterns, accessories, etc. I use an 18 by 24" Sew Steady table with my machine, put my bobbin holders and sewing tools under it (where I can see and select easily). My thread racks sit on top of the shelved area, and there is space on the wall in front of my machine to tape up a pattern guide (where a monitor would have been). This is the best sewing arrangement I've ever had. The only drawback is that this "table" is heavy so I can't move it around and it was a pain to move when I changed sewing rooms. I bought it second hand for $75 but a new one like is probably about $120, last time I saw one.
