My daughter has cerebral palsy and uses a wheelchair. When she was a teenager it was almost impossible to find a desk or table at the right height to accommodate her wheelchair. So we bought a sturdy shelf and hung it at the exact height for her. Planning to do the same for me. I'm only 4'10" tall and am currently using an old office desk for my sewing table. However it is too high for me. If I raise my chair then I'm too far from the floor to reach the foot pedal. My husband even built a platform for my foot pedal but then I can't get my knees under the desk because of a center drawer. We're in Florida for the winter but when we get back to Michigan in the spring we're doing a complete overhaul of my sewing room, starting with a table for my sewing machine.
