First start with a rubber shelf liner under your machine then start looking at a thrift store. Bought one about 10 years ago nice wood front has door that opens and has space handy for thread and other things I may need ,machine goes down with room for foot pedal which I like to pick up when not in use. It cost me about $10. Real wood not press board.

I have a piece from Ikea and also bought the cubes with it - it works out real well.

I guess I'm very lucky. I told my DH what I wanted and in a few days he had built it. Mine is farm table size. He cut the opening for my machine and a piece I can drop in when I take my machine out. When not using for sewing I can use as a table. He also cut down an old chest of drawers that slides under one end of the table for storage. This gives me a great area to work. Cost about $100 - $200.

I think the best tables on the market are the sew perfect tables. They fit every machine on the market, very stable, height adjustable and very affordable. I have two and they are wonderful. you can find them on line

I bought a Sew Ezi at a quilt show several years ago. It was a demo and I paid about $200 for it at the end of the show because the dealer did not want to haul it back to CA. I have inserts for both of my Berninas and my Featherweight. It's also nice to know that by ordering inserts I can adapt it to any machine I might purchase in the future. It is portable but sturdy and fits perfectly into my space.

Check your local sewing machine shop for a floor model. I got an Arrow Olivia table that is gorgeous AND functional set in table. I saved A LOT by getting the floor model. $425 versus $640...
Another option is Craigs list, but I've never seen anything that looks like furnuture there.

I would start with a dealer of your brand sewing machine. They will have, or can get, a table that will fit your machine with no inserts. I purchased a table with my Janome and love it. It has a ruler printed right on the table top (may not be 100% accurate, but works for basic things)! My machine sets in perfectly with no gaps. I can't see a name on it without standing on my head underneath, so can't help you there....but am sure your dealer will have something comparable. I think I spent around $125.
