My husband made me a fantastic sewing table a few years ago. It is approximately 4 x 6 with a well for the machine to sit in. It has 4 small drawers and 5 deep adjustable shelves along with 6 deep stationery shelves (one to hold my cutting mats). I would have liked for the drawers to be a little deeper but other than that I would not change a thing. We painted the bottom white and stained & put poly on the top.
