I bought two three-drawer dressers from Ikea. Lowe's cut a piece of 3/4" plywood into three pieces for me at no charge: two 19" pieces and one piece almost 12" wide, the length of the board (96"). I put a piece of felt on top of each dresser and laid the two 19" pieces of plywood on top of one another to align with the outside ends of the dressers. It is neat and attractive with room for a sewing machine and a serger. I have one of my cutting mats available at all times. This is a very sturdy sewing table with knee-hole space in the center. The almost 12" wide piece of plywood became a shelf above the sewing surface to hold boxes of FQ's and scraps.
My wife was pleased that I had a good sturdy sewing surface with six nice-sized drawers to hold the clutter that most often results when I tackle a new project.
I'll see if my daughter will take pictures and help me post them.
