Thank you for all the great ideas! While Halloween costume shopping for my littles today I was looking for a farm style table. Instead we found a sewing table with drawers and a recessed spot for machines, and the back half has a drop down leaf. It's made of real wood and has a wood insert in case there isn't a machine in it. It needs a little refinishing and new drawer pulls but I think it will work well. Best of all it was only $20! Now I need to find a place to make some plexiglass inserts.
