My sewing table is a very old Steelcase desk. It is very heavy, and never vibrates when sewing fast. It has drawers underneath. For a sewing chair, I bought a not just an office chair - but a drafting chair. Looks like an office chair, but it goes up higher. I can sit at the perfect height.

You can cut the bottom off cabinets to make them shorter - just leave enough for the drawer or door to open. Another option is ordering cabinets for bathrooms. Most cabinet lines make shorter ones for vanities. Also, the countertops add ~1.5". Forgot to post this info before.

My long arm sits in a table that is 48 x 60 , with one of the corners rounded off. It is attached directly to the wall and has a bookshelf for the leg.

This is sort of on the topic.
Not my sewing desk/table, but my "other table," can be raised and lowered! My personal creation: ta, ta: an inexpensive table and exceedingly elegant concrete blocks and assorted sets of wooden blocks (when needed for more "up and down") to fit the number of legs to raise and lower said table. Think of the possibilities. No having to get onto someone else's creation list. No having to satisfy anyone other than yourself (your sewing place, your pick). No needing help to accomplish the up and down motion. And "right this very minute" for "when?". And on and on. Yesssssss followed by hand pumps! Pat Cindy |

I really like the light that looks like it's attached to your longarm. What brand is it? It really seems like one that would help in my situation
It's just a clamp on light we bought at Target. It is LED it works great, nice and bright. |
I found a large executive desk at one of the stores selling used office furniture, $25. My husband then cit the legs to the height I liked and made a space for my sewing machine. Works get, I even have room on the other side for when my daughters com over to sew with me.

My husband made my table & it measures 76X48. It is fantastic! He made it in 4 pieces so it would be easy to move if necessary. It has a "well" for my machine and 4 small drawers with adjustable shelves. We painted the bottom portion white and stained the top. I would love to post a picture but I have no idea how to do that.

Mine is only 48" x 48". I'm just using those little short book cases from Walmart on each corner with a 4 foot sheet of wood from lowes on top. It's working great. You would probably have to have something extra in the center.
