Check Walmart & walmart.com, sometimes it is on there cheaper.

That's the table I got. I ordered it from Walmart online, shipping was free to the Walmart nearest me, and I paid $119.00. It frequently goes on sale for $99.00. Here's my post on it.

I got mine at Walmart for $97 and had it put together in about an hour. The brand on mine was Sauder.

I'm investing in a Gidget...found it as low as 99.00 and you can sink your machine into it and make it level to table...adjustable tray and it fold flat to store under something...for me the LR couch.

I bought an old formica table at a yard sale. You can check auctions for them too. They tend to be slick, so the fabric doesn't sit on it when quilting, like it did on the wood table I had been using.
Good luck,
Nancy

I have this table too and use it for my embroidery machine. It's really sturdy and comes from a company whose factory is here in northwest Ohio.

Check out second hand stores. for $35 I found an old office desk, drawers for storage. When not sewing your machine can be tucked under and you can use it as a desk.

I have a small armoire computer desk that I have used in the past, depending on how much space I have to work with. My machine sits inside where a monitor should go. It has small shelves and a big file drawer below plus other space to stack fabrics etc. in. You pull the machine out easily and place it on the full width keyboard when sewing. At the end of the day, just slide it back into the cabinet and close the door. It works well if you have it in a room that you don't really want your sewing stuff to be out front and center in. Mine was under $200 at Walmart. Sauder Co. I believe. I've had it for about seven years now, moved it several times and it's still very sturdy.

Do you have room for this?http://www.ikea.com/us/en/catalog/products/20116071/
I also like the Jonas desk. It has the slide out piece that is just enough lower that when you put your machine on it it would be the correct height. You could also just use it as the ironing station when working on blocks. No storage in it but you can buy matching file drawers or just use the plastic ones under the desk. Then have hubby install open shelves above for other storage. If you have little children, the higher the storage the more likely it is to be where you put it. http://www.ikea.com/us/en/catalog/products/10103677/

I bought a desk at a garage sale and my husband and I measured my sewing machine and cut out a hole for the sewing machine to set in and I had a desk. The desk has 3 drawers on one side and 2 drawers on the other, plenty of storage.
