About 17 years ago, I got my Koala cabinet. It was a floor model that the sewing store was selling at a discount. That cabinet was one of my best investments. It has been moved a long distance since I got it and I use it every day; yet it still looks like new. The mechanism for raising and lowering the machine still works well. I have my serger on the side area. Since I also have a Koala cutting table, I have my Featherweight sitting on the flat space that could be used for cutting. There is plenty of space on the area for working with a large quilt when I am FMQ or adding binding. I also like the storage space in the cabinet. I cannot imagine how I sewed all those years without a Koala cabinet. I love, love, love mine.
