I have an old wooden conference table my brother used at the bank he worked at. It does take up most of the one wall, but I can put my machine and a 36" square cutting board, or two machines side by side and have a friend over to sew. It gets REALLY messy this time of year, as I finish a project and just push the remains aside and work on another one, but I'd say, if you can fit a larger table in, get it!
