Make a cardboard mock up of it and see if you can get it into the space you want it without bending the cardboard. Those tables and rods don't bend around corners. And your ceiling height may not be enough to stand them on end to get them around a corner. Even though I did all that, the seller forgot to tell me there were welded metal table bracket supports underneath the table, making the table a certain thickness. Because I didn't take the thickness into account, the real thing couldn't get into the basement the way the cardboard mock up did, and it laid out in the back yard overnight
while we figured out a new way to get it inside (we had to remove a window in the basement)!
Mine is in the dungeon. As others have said, you need to make sure if the frame will fit in the space you plan for. My machine would not “turn” at the bottom of the stairs and had to be dismantled and put through the window. The window is 2’. Just made it! This is my clearance. Longarm is pushed up against opposite wall. :-)
