and very strudy...., maybe find a used sewing cabinet on Craigs List for at a local garage sale....

Thanks for the link it is exactly what i have been looking for. I live with my son and family and would like to create a "Happy Place" in my bedroom.

Do you have an IKEA store near you. I saw a curved computer table there that I am going to buy and use as a sewing table.

I was at Walmart this morning and actually saw this very same craft/sewing table. It's a lot of table/storage for the little bit of money they are asking. Wish I needed a new one!

Isn't it amazing what she did with the closet! I bookmarked it when my sewing studio that is now in the planning stage, becomes a reality.

I gree with emmah--cheapest solution and there is storage in the filing cabinets and underneath the door/table.

have you checked the classifieds in your area? don't forget to watch for yard sales!!

i bought mine used at dav for 40 bucks. it is a L shaped desk i put my ironing pad on the right to press blocks or whatever needs it as i go.I have also put a flat closet door that was not being used using a file cabinet under each side for something temperary when renting once. worked great for me.plenty of room and very sturdy.

I've never had a "sewing table" per se, used a folding table, then part of an old desk, now I just use a portable folding table as my sewing table. That's al I have, so Ineed to get one.

This looks like a good table for the price.

Back in hippy times it was suggested using a second-hand interior door (hollow core) and two file cabinets for a desk. Seems a similar set up could work for you. Habitat for Humanity's "ReStore" is a good place to look. Even re-purpose used kitchen base cabinets. They also have countertops sometimes. I bet you could screw a board below the cut-out and set your machine there.

Too bad you are so far away. I have two desks that need a home. I sew on a used dining room table I got at Goodwill for $35. You could do thwe same, and have more money for fabric and toys. IMHO

check out IKEA http://www.ikea.com/us/en/catalog/ca...kspaces/10712/

Isew on a used 1950s student desk my bff's brother had growing up. Perfect for me! And it was free. :)

Actually since you live in Ohio, just look up Sauder on the internet. You not only get a short vacation but it is one lovely village to visit and has one terrific quilt shop. I drive between Cleveland and Shipshawanna when I get up that way and always stop in the village. They also have one of the nicest motels I have ever stayed in and not that expensive. If you like what they have in their shop you can bring it home and put it together. We did that for my daughter's home office and got lovely furniture that is well built for a very reasonable price.

Yes, Yes, Yes! This is the way to go. I just bought two filing cabinets with top for $2.50 at an auction. Works just great for my sewing machine.

Don't rule out a computer desk. I bought a large used one; sawed the legs off two inches and removed the keyboard shelf. It has two drawers and storage plus shelves above. My sewing machine sits where a monitor would have been. I can tape my pattern guide to the brace behind it. I have a Sew Steady table on top and my supplies are in view under it. Best arrangement I've ever had. Another machine sits on a student desk I bought for $3 at a yard sale. I covered the top with contac paper and it was the right height and has a small drawer on the left. Good luck!

Just use any sturdy table that's the size you want. I have a dining room table- cutting mat and a couple of necessities on top, bins for fabric and projects underneath.

I found a sturdy computer desk at a yard sale for $5. and redid it with paint and things I already had.

The height of the table is the most important thing. I have a table similar to the SewEz. It is portable and the machine is recessed with an insert to make the sewing area flat...no drag.

thrift shop. purchased solid desk with 4 drawers for $20. office chair from IKEA.

I have the same table and like it very much

thrift shop. purchased solid wood desk with 4 drawers for $20. office chair at IKEA less than $50.

I have my 2 sewing machines in a 6 foot folding table permanently..sometimes my FW is there also

Ck. out 'freecycle' in your area. You can ck. the site for what you want or put an add in for what you want.... and it's all free. I've gotten some nice things and also given some items I no longer wanted. Craigs list is another good site.Good luck in your search.

I guess it's just according to how fancy you want to be. When I bought my first machine (a Featherweight) I had no place to put it except in my bedroom, and nothing to set it on. My husband picked up a small chrome dining table that had been used in their break room at work for $1. Nothing at all wrong with it except one leg was slightly different in color. We just put that leg back in the corner and it wasn't even noticable. I just used one of the chairs from our dinette set, moving it back and forth between the sewing table and dining table as needed. Just kept my sewing basket on the back corner of the table to store my supplies in. I used this table for 15 years or more before I could get a proper sewing table. Worked fine, cost only $1.

I also have that table and like it.

I bought this sewing desk a couple weeks ago, and now I see the price has gone way down. I am kind of peeved about that, but hopefully it is your gain! I bought for $179 and now it is $128! It is beautiful and so functional, especially for the price.

For sewing when we are traveling in Trailer I got a talethat adjust to 3 levels and it was $19.99 at Wal Mart...
Thinking about a second one for bigger things but mostly just pieceor craft when traveling smaller things

I found a beautiful desk at an estate auction that I bought for $5.00. Then I also bought a wonderful craft table at a garage sale for $15.00. I use that to cut things out. It could also be used for my sewing maching. Good luck.

Walmart has that same sewing/craft table on sale for $99.00 - at least that was the price about 2 weeks ago.

Congratulations on your sewing area! I use a fold up plastic table from Walmart, I think it was about $49.00.

My husband went to the resell shop for Habitat and bought a used counter top. Made shelves to put the top on out of MDF he had laying around and I have a really nice table for cutting, sewing and ironing. The counter top cost $20.00. And I LOVE IT!!!!

I have 2 of these and love them. Walmart online is the place to get them.

When we had our kitchen remodelled I got a long section of the countertop which was coming out and DH made two folding legs for it. Made a great long table which I could dismantle to make room for my quilt frame occasionallly.

Try garage sales.
