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. :)

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 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.

We have an extensive sewing/quilting room, and we needed a piece that would match the other furniture, be rolling, and hold thread. This met all expectations, looking quite similar in finish to the Kangaroo furniture we have. Assembly was straight forward, and all the parts were there. It meets all the functions we have, and folds down easily, although we will probably leave it opened up. Note that when the table is extended, it is supported only along one edge, so it will not support much weight. Overall a good value and we are happy for the purchase.

Love it! Perfect size. Got here on time. Looks like photo. Very easy to build. I recommend using a drill so it’s faster. It’s sturdy and has good wheels. No missing parts. No damage. I bought it for my cricut. I didn’t insall the thing on top cuz I won’t use it. But I will be using it on my wall to hold some key chains :)

Pros: It does look like the picture. 2 of the 3 wheels have a lock on them and it's convenient that it folds closed to be more compact. Instructions were easy enough to follow for assembly and everything was actually labeled correctly. Cons: Took awhile to put together by myself. Had to find an electric drill as well because a regular screw driver was taking too long. I also had an issue with some of the holes not being threaded. So some of the screws, I could not get to go in (they were either not threaded or the hole was too large in the first place). Because of that, one of the storage shelves isn't connected properly and I'm not able to use. The top part that folds over is an issue as well. The hole that was predrilled in is not deep enough, so when I fold it out to lay it over top the door that's stretched open, the top doesn't lay flat against it. So it's slanted. I'd return it, but it took me a few hours to put together and I don't want to go through the problem of having to take it all apart and try to put it back in the box that I had to destroy to open. The two rolls of dowells that are slanted up, meant for you to put spools of thread on are too long as well. I pushed them down as far as I could (also a lot of them split the wood of the cabinet door in doing so) but I can't close the door without it hitting the cabinet. So I have to take them out to get it to close. If I leave it open, try wood glue on the storage shelf, and take the dowell out of the top fold over, it might be useful.

I’m giving it a 5 but I have not used it. Assembly took about an hour. Color is a soft blue. Seems like it will be a good sewing/craft table. I may put contact paper on top to protect the finish. It looks like it could scratch easy. I’ll update if something wonky happens once I start using for sewing. It has decent storage and seems pretty versatile for different crafts. Takes up minimal space. Which is my favorite featire.

This arrived in excellent shape straight out of the box. It was simple to put together following the instructions. Problem came at the very end. The first picture shows that there is a piece missing from the veneer on the inside. There’s no way this could’ve gotten damaged because I did not even open up the top until it was all put together. Second thing is the hole in the top on the outside. I thought was kind of interesting until I went back to the instructions and realized I to put a dowel in the top of the door. Unfortunately, now that I put the dowel in the top of the door, the door won’t close so I have to sand it off a bit. I think it will be fine. In all, it took me probably three hours to put together. I worked on it a little bit every day for three days so it’s hard to really pinpoint the time. If you’re really good with a screw drill use a screw drill. It will save your hand a lot. Don’t overscrew the screws if you are using a screw drill. It is MDF and it will destroy it. The only other issue I have which I don’t really think is too horrendously a deal, is the dowels that go in the bobbin/spool holders are too big for the holes. Little sandpaper and will be done. I am just very interested on what I’m going to do to fix the top of this. All in all I would give it 4 1/2 stars just because it is what you pay for. It’s not super solid, but it doesn’t matter because you’re not paying for super solid stuff. You’re paying for something to hide something so that you don’t have to look at it every day. It’s a good value for the money easy to put together well packaged.

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.

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.

Not a very good product

Muy bueno

El diseño es bastante funcional, pero el material si es algo delicado es madera comprimida. Creo deberían añadir una llanta extra en la puerta porque se siente frágil con todo el peso de los cajones. El armado me llevó dos horas sin ayuda aunque está perfectamente explicado con imágenes y todas las piezas están identificadas con códigos. Si ge gustan los rompecabezas te vas a divertir jeje. Me lleve mucho tiempo porque todo lo hice con desarmador, quizá sea más rápido con atornillador eléctrico. Fue un regalo para mi mamá y le gustó mucho.
