    I need to buy a sewing table and I would like to know what brand you recommend and what features you consider important and which features are luxuries. Thanks for your input.

    Everyone seem to like the E-Z sew. I don't have it but friends love it!

    I have a Horn it is outstanding! We bought it as a floor model http://www.hornofamerica.com/product...&productID=125 so it was considerable discounted and an impulse buy. I said I wanted one and my DH said okay.
    I would check craigslist and kijiji for used ones either Horn or Koala.

    Features I like are it is big 4 feet by 5 feet, the back part drops down if needed. It is on casters for easy moving. It is heavy and doesn't wobble or vibrate. It has 3 levels with a push down hydrolic lift.

    Hope that helps.

    I have Koala and love it, they come plain or fancy and the price depends on all the extras
