I did find a sewing and cabinet store 80 miles away (I live in the country in SW Iowa) and finally got to see and try some Roberts cabinets. Nice but tooooo expensive.

I'm down to two choices:
A sewing machine table (about $130) that holds my machine flush (I don't want it on top).

A cabinet large enough so I can sit in front of the needle

And this doesn't have any reviews written about it...

My DH said to get the one I want now since I use it a lot. (He's a wonderful guy in many ways!!!)

So, do I get the table or pay close to $700 for more????

thanks for your help!

Oh, it's costly!!!
