Super cute little sewing table. Easy to assemble and light weight. However, for a novice assembler like myself it took me about 2 1/2 hours to put it together instead of the 60 minutes suggested on the instruction manual. For a more experienced assembler I can see how they could put it together within 60 minutes. Instructions were easy to follow, but I did come across a few hiccups. First issue was the table top. I initially put the table top on incorrectly with it opening up to the wrong side. I didn’t find this out until I was completely done putting the table together. However, it was an easy fix. I just had to unlock the 4 cam locks under the table top, switch the table top so it flipped open to the correct side and put the cam locks back on. I also had difficulty attaching the door by myself. I accidentally knocked the bottom shelf off the door panel twice while trying to attach the door, which caused the screws to not attach the back shelf panel securely to the side panels after that. I had to replace the two screws that were provided with two longer screws of my own to secure the shelf panels. Even though you can attach the door by yourself, having an extra pair of hands to hold the door up for you while you screw on the hinges would be so much easier (I wish I had the extra pair of hands). I’m currently using this sewing table to hold my Cricut stuff, so the storage capacity is sufficient and it feels sturdy. It’s compact enough to not take up too much space. It’s met all my expectations. Again, the issues I came across while assembling the sewing table were all assembler caused. I included a picture of the tools I used, especially that magnet tool I needed to help me remove the cam locks. I also used two philip screwdrivers for the different size handles. Hope you enjoy your new sewing table as much as I do, if you choose to purchase one. :)

This is a very versatile sewing table. I was looking for something that was not bulky and could be put away easily. It doesn’t take much space. It is movable as it has wheels and the wheels have locks. I have it in my Loft area and nobody would know it is a sewing table. I have a serger which I store in one of the shelves and I put my bigger sewing machine under the shelf on the floor. Some people complain about the thread large spools not fitting however what I do is, I put my small spools on the top and the big ones on the bottom so that is not a problem for me. The only two things that could be improved is the dowels that hold the spools. I have to glue mine in place because they kept falling. It is still a nice table and solved my sewing machine station problem. It folds nicely and quickly so the set up is a breeze when I need to sew.

I want to give this 5 stars because it's so well designed and organized for assembly. I list my reasons below if you are interested. Pros: The parts are very good quality and it's definitely beyond a great value for the money. The instructions were well done for the most part, certainly better than most things I've purchased from Amazon, but I will not you probably want two people for this. It's probably not technically required but there were a couple parts, like when adding the hinges and the door we needed me and my husband to hold the door up for this. The size is perfect for my small space. I haven't used it for sewing yet but I do think the height will be more than sufficient. The unit is heavy-duty and the weight is solid, nothing flimsy or super cheap. I really like the design. The whole think is stable and solid beyond what I thought it would be for the price. Very pleasantly satisfied with the quality. Not a con, but the natural/wood top I chose is less 'bright' than pictured and what I thought I was getting. It runs a little more dull and slightly 'gray' in tone. I thought it would match my other 'beech' colored wood in my workshop and home, but it's more like a 'blonde' oak, if that's a thing, and I actually really hate oak furniture. The difference is not something I'm taking a star off for, though, because it could just be my monitor skewing the color and not any falseness in their photos. There could also be a variation in this style. It is laminate/veneer and not actual wood, and is slightly textured, in case that matters in your choice. If I bought this again I would have just gone with the white knowing the 'wood' top isn't wood, but veneer, and I don't want the texture. Cons: The 1 star deduction is for two reasons, neither of which should be a deal breaker for purchasing this sewing cabinet, because otherwise it's truly awesome. #1: The door will not clear the top to close with the dowel in it, which means to fully close the cabinet I have to remove the dowel every time and store it where it won't get lost, which means one day it will likely get lost. The dowel sits in the top of the swing door and there's a small notch on the underside of the fold-out table top that it fits inside so everything aligns and stays stable. I love this- except they didn't account for the clearance when closing it all back up. It will be a very small, but constant, point of frustration every time I use the sewing table. #2: As others have mentioned, the top row of spool storage sits too high to add full size thread spools and won't close if they are too big. This is a design flaw, because there IS room to have lowered the two spool storage brackets so this wouldn't be an issue, OR to offset the front panel under the table-top so full size thread spools would fit with no problem. Right now I have short spools on the top and they barely fit, with one slightly dragging the top every time I open the door. They would be better suited for bobbins, but for now this is working. Again, a very small inconvenience and problem but will be a constant source of frustration every time I open the door.

For the money, this is an absolute perfect sewing cabinet. I put it together by myself in about 45 minutes - very simple. It is cute & sturdy. It is great to be able to close it up and hide the machine and supplies but easy to open and use. I give it a thumbs up! Only tiny thing I don’t prefer is that there is a small intention on the top that isn’t painted where the little dowel has to be inserted to rest on the open door to make the work table side. But the design works well.

I typically do not assemble the furniture I buy; I usually hire someone to do it. Yes, that’s how much of a Princess I am. However, since it was a holiday when I wanted to use the stand, I decided to give it a try. IT WENT VERY WELL! Here are the things I really appreciated. First, all the pieces are clearly labeled. The screws and other small parts come not only labeled but in their own separate bags. Second, there is a full-size printed assembly instruction book with step by step instructions written clearly AND accompanied by clear pictures. I hate tiny instruction books with tiny print and pictures you need a magnifying glass to see, so this full size book was a welcome sight. The instructions are in English only, which was fine for me. Third. All the holes for screws and dowels are pre-drilled to a depth that makes it easy to put the screws in. The holes for screws are deep enough that your screw stands up straight which makes it easy to get the screws in correctly. The holes for the dowels are drilled to the right size so you do not need a mallet to tap them in. Fourth, many of the screws are countersunk, which I appreciate because it keeps the surface smooth. Fifth, all the wood parts are clearly labeled with stickers. Hints and tips: I assembled this sewing machine cabinet on a table to keep from having to bend over continually. A 6” folding table would be ideal. The only time I needed another set of hands was in attaching the door to the cabinet base. The screws that hold the hinges on are very small so it was helpful to have someone else hold the door in place. If I had laid the piece on its side, I probably could’ve done it by myself, but my table wasn’t long enough. If you are new at this sort of assembly, there are two things you need to know. First, read the instructions AND look at the pictures. Be sure your parts are oriented the same was as the picture shows. This will keep you from putting things together upside down or wrong side out. Second, if there is more than 1 screw holding a piece on, don’t tighten any of the screws fully until you have them all started and going in. Sometimes you need to move the piece slightly to get all the screw holes to line up. Once they are all started, tighten them each a bit, back and forth, until they are all tight. The instructions called for a flat head and Phillips screwdriver. I only used the Phillips. Do NOT use a drill driver! I did end up with the beginnings of a blister on the middle finger of my screwdriver hand (told you I am a princess), but truly, it doesn’t take much strength to get the screws in since the holes are pre-drilled. If you are having trouble getting a screw in, you probably don’t have it in the hole. One problem: the only problem I had with the assembly is that the screw to put the knob on wasn’t long enough. The knob and screw set were probably supplied by a third party. I’ll pick up a longer screw in the same size or, better yet, buy a prettier knob with the appropriate screw.

Here I was thinking I was almost done assembling this cabinet when the bottom shelf fell off. I noticed that about 3 screws never felt tight. I thought, okay, whatever. Hah! When you are not expecting it, pieces will fall off because those screws are not tight. The problem seems to be that they are too short. The dowels used in conjunction with them also seem short. I need to remove the shelf attachment, get some wood glue, and rebuild the shelf with glue reinforcements, then put the shelf back on. So, I'm not putting the door on yet. I don't know how sturdy it will be for my sewing machine in the condition it is in so I'll test it with something that won't break if the cabinet breaks. That said, the pieces were lovely and the blue was true to the picture. The pieces were well labeled, and the instruction booklet was probably the best one I've used. I was about an hour in to building when disaster struck. I was so looking forward to getting this set up. But I will have to wait until I can get out to Home Depot, which is 45 minutes away. I gave it 3 stars for the hassle.

Ok, it's more like 4.7 out of 5 stars because I have some issues with the bobbin racks but I'll get to that. We just moved and I finally have a space that is fully my own to do something with - no more dragging my sewing machine to where it was convenient for me to work. So what do I need? I need a sewing cabinet! But we just moved so I really can't break the bank. This one popped up after weeks of keeping my eye on another one that was OoS and the price was too good to believe and I thought I would be sacrificing quality, but I ordered it anyhow. It shipped directly from the seller and since I was so close, it arrived in only two business days (exciting!) It's your basic particle board furniture, nothing fancy. But at the same time, the finish is really nice. Even the bottom edges of the door and sides are finished, nearly everything is really. There was enough foam in the box that all the pieces arrived intact. So as I'm unpacking it all and laying it out I'm thinking "oh great, none of these are labeled. This is going to be fun." WRONG! The ends are labeled with little stickers. So instead of marring up the finish like other manufacturers do with the stickers, the #1-15 stickers are on the edges. Which means for the most part, you can ignore them and put the furniture together. I didn't take off any really except for some on the door shelves. It went together pretty quickly. Manual was really easy to follow and could easily be done by one person (if you have a spare hand to attach the door it would be helpful but not necessary.) Pilot holes all seemed to be aligned straight. It's a little wobblier than I thought it would be, I might see if I can find a piece of white board or something to attach on the back for stability. It's not terrible though. Trying to get the screws in for the casters made a little bit of a mess as the "wood" started to shred (but only in those spots). Hopefully that area doesn't get worn down easily from use and start to crack around the holes. The shelves are generous. I got rid of a bunch of patterns before my move but with a few plastic bins, the inner shelf will be a nice storage area for the ones I kept (and buy in the future). The shelves on the door are great and had room for my oft-used notions and then some. So the bobbin holders. It's great having them on board, really; but they need some tweaking. First, a bit of wood glue in the sockets is going to be needed. As I was moving bobbins around the dowels got stuck in some and came out. Second and this is the biggest complaint - the height of the top row in relation to the front ledge of the cabinet doesn't work because you can't shut the door. 250 yard spools of Coats & Clark thread *just* fit but I had to nudge some under the ledge so the door would shut. I had to move all of my Gutermann thread to the lower row because there was no way they would slip under that ledge. So I may be drilling new holes for the top row and dropping it down. I'm ecstatic with my purchase and would definitely buy again.

I started sewing recently and needed a workbench but for a small area. Looking through Amazon I found this table and it seemed to have everything I needed and on budget, so I tried it and it paid off! It has enough workspace for me to work for hours on a sewing project. The shelving areas come handy while working to keep spools of thread or other necessary materials nearby. The height of the table is average, about three feet and works perfectly. It was easy to build, and it came with everything needed, including a combination Alan wrench/screwdriver. The table extension is a nice option for larger jobs because it offers a larger workspace, about 25” to 30” even with a full size machine. Once closed, the machine fits well on the shelve underneath for easy storage. The table is sturdy but I wouldn’t recommend leaning on it too much while open because it is not heavy wood and may topple if you place more weight than the unit itself. It is not much to look at, it’s a plain looking module but it’s minimalist and once closed it looks like a small dresser or end table. I would have preferred to have more drawer shelves instead of spool holders but it works well and gives the open table a nice visual touch. The small wheels help transport the table from room to room but they don’t feel super sturdy, so I suggest hauling carefully if you need to move it often. The wheels also have a break/stop option to keep them from moving. Overall the table was affordable, it looks neat, and the size is perfect for small spaces yet it offers plenty of work space. Perhaps taller people may have issues with the bottom shelve hitting their knees, but that is a standard issue with all compact seeing tables. I really like this table and highly recommend it.

I had a friend assemble it for me and he said it wasn’t difficult. Usually leave it open but fold it up when grandchildren visit so they aren’t tempted to touch my “stuff”. Easy to roll into another room. Nice little cabinet when not in use. Highly recommend.

Really bad quality. I bought another table for one-third of the price, and it has much better quality.

Muy bueno

El único tema que no me gusta que no tenga cubierta en el fondo, por lo demás muy fácil de armar y cumple con su cometido.

Not a very good product
