Ok, I'm tight on space. My dh has taken the sewing area over with his Janome MB4 . I'm sure this is a good time to "squeeze" in a request for a table for my new 19606.

I really like the idea of the Sauder Craft Armoire here.

I like that it can still fit in the sewing area with the MB4.

I have had this armoire for several years and like it very much. I have my sewing machine on it and the shelves hold a lot of stuff. When we have guests (it is in the guest room) I can push the table in and close the doors-easy!

Armoire

DD has the smaller one Walmart used to sell and likes it - even put it together herself.

So, how would you rate the quality of the construction? Is it pretty solid and durable? How about wood chipping or splitting.

checked out the reviews sound like it is a pretty good product for the price. I think you should get it.

I've seen this at the Sauder store (yes, there is one...) and it was unbelievably sturdy. The only thing I didn't like about it was that the table was too short for me (I'm tall and I like my tables over 31" if I can get them). But there was a lot of space in it, and had it not been for the height problem, as well as a design problem with my sewing room, I would have bought it.

I have Sauder office furniture in my sewing room/home office and it is very sturdy....but it takes a while to put together yourself. Don't get confused about this this stuff, there is no wood involved -- it is all made of engineered wood (particle board) with laminate finish. My stuff has been in service about 4 years and is holding up fine and looks great.

Thanks everyone. I showed it to my dh and he was not in agreement with the purchase. He thinks I should get into the "sewing" FIRST before taking the plunge.
