Good Morning all!
So I was thinking of maybe investing in a sewing cabinet. Currently I am using an old kitchen table and need some more storage. Does anyone have any suggestions for vendors, or for plans to build one yourself? Let me know. |

I just got my new koala delivered yesterday. Woohoo. I'll maybe post photos today. It weighed over 400 lbs. and we sure had a fun time moving it up the stairs!!
My old sewing table is also a Koala, but the one made in Australia years ago before they sold out the company. The new ones are completely different and are so much nicer. |
:cry: Not fair I have wanted a Koala for years now, in fact I was looking at them on line yesterday.

They're not solid wood, they're the highest density mdf or particle board on the market(per the salespeople). They have a wood grain "look". Still, as heavy as real wood would be!! I got the white.

My husband made mine several years ago. It has 2 shelves to the right and 5 drawers to the left. It also has a big "lid" that is supported by the front left door that I use as my cutting surface. To my right the lid also folds out if I need extra stacking space for blocks. Maybe I should take a picture. No, then I'd have to clean the sewing/laundry room. haha

Yeah, I would have a problem putting my $300 sewing machine into a $1000 cabinet....:P

I have 2 Horn cabinets that I absolutely love. I imagine they are very similar to Koala cabinets. Yes, they are pricey..but you might be able to get a good deal on a floor model at a sewing store. I got one of mine that way...I was at quilt BOM and they announced that they were needing room and had this particular cabinet for sale (at a very good price). I did not hesitate...after the session I immediately purchased it. My other cabinet was my late MIL's and I KNOW how much she paid for it....the one I bought was quite a bargain (they are identical except for the finish). I had sewn for about 20 years on my dining room table and it was so nice to finally have a cabinet!
