I love my cabinet..bought at a sewing expo 20 years ago...has 24 inches to the left of the machine, 6 in to the right (room for coffee mug or pin cushion) and 30 in behind. One drawer to the left and door that opens w/sliding shelf deep enought to store two machines.Lots of room for when I machine quilt a project. Make sure you have lots of room to the left/back of the machine. Otherwise you'll be cramped when working on larger projects.
