I used a 5 foot resin table for my Brother Innov-is 5000 which is a fairly large sewing/embroidery machine. I did find it somewhat bouncy but stopped using it completely when I realized the table had warped such that it the machine was sitting in a hole and the embroidery unit would no longer align with the machine head. As a result, the embroidery hoop was rubbing on the machine bed and was starting to hang-up as the hoop went in and out. The table warping seemed to be caused by the heat from the machine when it was on and it took about 2 years. To replace it, I bought a ‘student desk’ from Ikea, that is a simple table which has a table extension that slides in and out. The desk is working very well and I’m very glad I made the change.
