My table was made for me. I don't have any drawers in it but that sounds nice. Here are a couple of things to think about. If it's that long it needs extra support or the table vibrates as you sew. My guy put extra support around 3 sides of the table leaving 1 side for my legs to go under. When I have a quilt friend over she sits on the opposite side of the table at the other end BUT she bangs her knees on the reinforcement...something to watch out for. Also make sure you have enough room to raise or lower your chair as needed. I raise mine when I'm FMQing (it's easier on my shoulders). I put a 3 drawer plastic container under my table at 1 end instead of built-ins.
