I had my machine on a plastic table that shook when I sewed. Then a elderly friend (more elderly than I, haha) needed to get rid of a desk and gave it to me.
I don't have a large ironing place, just a TV tray with some towels on it that I place next to me when I am sewing small pieces and blocks. When I need to iron something large I set up a fold up table. Other than that I am pretty happy with what I have...Oh, I don't have a TV in this room.
These pics are before I got my desk. I now have curtains on my closets to protect/hide the fabric.
