I bought a quilter's dream horn cabinet years ago. Features I love about it. Yep, I am with the rest, I love the air-lift drop down feature. With just a little pressure, I can have my machine up on top to use as a free-arm, level with the table which makes it so much better for piecing and also any type of quilting, and down concealed in the cabinet when not being used. My cabinet has a good amount of space to the left for those bigger projects, it also has a large leaf in the back that can be either up or down and I love all the space for when I am attacking all the borders, quilting. It is so much easier to manage the fabric. I also have a small drawer to the left, that I can pull out and I use the wooden insert for my cabinet that covers the hole for my machine when not in use, to further support the fabric to the left of me. Now the newer cabinets have special design that fits over the drawer which is much nicer but a new one is not in my budget. I have an old library table positioned to my right which I use to keep more stuff I use. I also have an office chair on wells and an additional six drawer cabinet that slips under my sewing cabinet on the left for more storage. I did however, not measure the cabinet when I got it until I got home with it and found I could not maneuver it into my spare bedroom. So, my sewing cabinet resides in my dining room, but when I fold up the back shelf and lower the machine and place a table clothe on the whole thing, it works nicely as a serving table. My ironing board is set up in the adjacent kitchen as I find it a good idea to get up and move around a bit.
