My sewing table is an old mahogany executive desk that I picked up at a thrift store for $75.00. My husband cut a hole in it for my machine and to fit my acrylic extender, put a shelf below the hole so that my machine bed is flush with the desk top. The surface is 60"x39". And, while it doesn't have a lift, the fabric carrying cover that came with my machine works just great to protect it.
