Yes, it folds up very nicely. It's a Roberts #299 Portable Folding Sewing Table www.robertsmfg.com/model_299/. I also bought the insert to fit around my machine. [They lie about that "allows user to sit directly in front of the needle" bit, though...] Check around before you buy; prices vary, as do shipping charges.

As I mentioned to someone else, I have had to do a bit of "futzing" to get it to be exactly how I wanted it. We added a riser across the bottom of the legs to raise it up about 1-1/2"; we had to add a piece of wood under the machine to bring it up to the level of the insert; and we had to fine-tune even that with some metal washers under the machine's feet.

That said, for about $120, I got a nice table that disappears when I need it to. Someday, when I have a room that is ONLY a sewing room, I might get a cabinet, but maybe not: I really like having all the leg room I do. I just might not like being confined by a cabinet! ;)

What a great room to sew in. Your husband has been a wonderful help in creating that space into a great place to work/play in. It is so lovely and neat. I'm a bit jealous over having a tv in there too.....that to me just tops the whole thing off.
