I love my IKEA sewing room!
I agree with the advice to lay the room out on paper before going to the store or ordering (there is a lot of information available on the IKEA web site for dimensions). I was initially concerned about the possibility of vibrations under the sewing machine but that has really not been a problem. However, I have found the ergonomics to be an issue. With the table I chose (the kind where you purchase the legs separately) that the table top was not able to be modified to support the weight of the sewing machine. There are a couple of great tutorials on how to modify a solid table to drop down the sewing machine but this table top would not work (hollow inside). Therefore, I am having a very clever friend of mine build a new solid table top that will allow the sewing machine to be lower and flush with the top of the table. MUCH better for long hours of sewing. Have fun! So many possible configurations!
