My first question is do you really need a lift? That is going to be the really expensive part. If you can live without the lift I would look at the Sew Perfect Tables - more of an industrial look but also Industrial strength. I know that I wanted a table where my machine could go down to hide away but the reality is that I don't ever put it away -all I really needed was for it to set down for a flush sewing surface. I know that if I ever get another table it will be a Sew Perfect one.
