    This is a sewing table my son made for me using to off the shelf drawer units and a counter top I got free. I love it!

    Janie,
    Almost any table, desk, whatever, as long as the top is large enough, can be modified for a sewing machine to fit in it.
    I would avoid things like plastic folding tables where the top is hollow or hollow core doors for the top surface though.
    What are your wants or needs for it? Do you want it to match any existing furniture, do you want it to double as a cutting or ironing surface, etc? Once you answer those questions for yourself the rest is relatively easy. I'm not close enough cut out the top of a table or desk for you but I can make the box to set the machine in if you want. All I would need are a few basic measurements and for you to pay shipping.

    II have a Sew-Ezi table as I have limited space. It is similar to the Arrow Gidget Table that was mentioned in a pevious post. The Sew-Ezi folds up and fits in a bag that is included. It has wheels so is easy to transport to retreats. An acrylic insert is included. Other accessories are available such as a tray. Google it to see pictures & prices. More expensive than the Arrow table, but IMHO, it is more stable.

    I think IKEA and The Container Store miss the boat when it comes to showing a real life application for a sewing room. They could give the sewing furniture world a run for the money if they capitalized on the millions of us looking for sewing room furniture that is practical and functions. Not some cutesy wall mounted shelf that I don't trust to hold sewing machines that weigh 30-50 pounds.

    i HATE the doors on some of the sewing desks that has those thread spool holders, etc. I want storage...not a door with plastic thing holders.
