I have two of the tables from Sams Club. One is for a cutting table, and the other is a 4ft. for a machine.

At first I bought one of those 79 dollar plastic tables that the quilt gets caught on all the edges. So I broke down and bought a cabinet with the lift. What a difference.
Dont cut corners its not worth it.

I had my DH take the old dining table with the removable leaf and he did a great job of making one my machine fits in. Now its level with the top plus I get plenty of sewing room. And I can still use it as a table if needed by putting in the old leaf.

I'd like to know which cabinet you bought since I'm also thinking of buying one sometime this year.
Any pros or cons with it, so far?

I bought a table from Ikea with adjustable legs. I made the table low ( I am a bit short from the waist up) and have an office chair that was also adjustable. It is great. No neck strain at all. Total cost was $89.00 The legs cost more than the table! l0l

I agree that having a table that the machine sits in is better for your shoulders and back. I bought a small table and I butt it up to a larger table for more working surface. I also have a small table I'm able to put to the left side when quilting a large quilt.

I bought the Bertha table from Arrow for oversized machines.
It was 500 dollars and so new on the market that it was a bear to put togather. It had flaws in the instructions also.
Regular size machines have many models to choose from.

I bought a computer table and can adjust the height of the bed of my machine.

Me too!! That's the first thing I noticed. :lol: :lol:

After researching my options, I bought this table last year and love it. It is strong...like a commercial table. I bought the quilt professional with the extra space on the right side.
I also bought a plexiglas blank insert as an accessary and can use it as a light box.
The company was good to work with.
Good luck.
