I bought a table from Walmart that I had to put together. It is very stable and doesn't vibrate when I sew, but it is sitting on a rug in a bedroom. I was VERY, VERY limited with space so this table folds and I can store the machine underneath it. It has storage in the door that hides the machine underneath and a door that hides 3 shelves. I love it and am very happy. It is definitely not a large surface so I have a folding cutting table from Joann's to cut fabric on. When I am sewing a large quilt it is not laying flat except where I am sewing. It serves the purpose for a cost that you are looking for. I would love to have a Koala table, but I don't have the room or the money.
