So, here's my old setup and here's my new setup. This is a Sauder sewing cabinet, I ordered it online through Walmart, I got it for $119 but it goes on sale for $99 frequently and the shipping is free to the Walmart nearest you. It's really sturdy and the shelves can hold up to 25 lbs.

I set up in front of one of the recliners but DH said no problem, we have another recliner, an overstuff chair, and a couch so he's comfortably covered no matter what!

That's one of those Sew Steady acrylic tables. That's a small one but I have a large one for that machine as well. They will make tables that fit any age machine but they will tell you that they cannot be modified. My DH modified the large one to fit my Kenmore computerized machine by shaving off some of the acrylic in the bed area. That made the table a little bigger in the bed area for the machine you see, but the table is so stable, and the increased gap was so minor, it still works great and isn't noticeable at all.

Beautiful. Thanks for sharing it with us. Now I have to go and check it out. I love the table. Wonderful.

Hi Leslie,
Hey that looks great; are y'all back in California now and if so, did you take the Sauder back with you? Or did you order one for home too?

yep, back in CA and back to work. Left the Sauder in WA, have a sewing room here in CA. Looking forward to meeting up with you gals again in the Spring!

Oh wow - How nice is that! I like your idea very much.

Oh I just gave one of those away! They are really nice to have. I just didn't have room in my studio anymore.

That works well! Congrats on having a new space for all your sewing items.

really nice. I am glad you got that. HUGS

Very nice, practical and visually appealing. The only problem at my house would be that it is never folded up and put away all neat and tidy. lol Glad for you, it is a super deal, I'll have to go online and see what I can get here from Walmart. You got a great price, the LQS that I work at, our cabinets start at $700 and go up from there. Yikes !!!

My favorite Sew Vac just got in a new cabinet, very utilitarian looking, NO storage space for anything, the only thing it has is an electronic lift and they want $599 for it. Yikes is right!!!
