Arrow SewingClassic Furniture “Judy” Sewing Cabinet: Portable, Folding, Compact, Locking Wheels, with Storage Bin and Hydraulic Machine Lift-White

So I bought this cabinet for mainly two reasons. First one was for the quality of Arrow Sewing products that I knew of in the past and the second reason is I have a Juki Mini sewing machine which is all metal and very heavy and I wanted a good cabinet that would easily retract with a push. It’s a manuel hydraulic lift which is easy to use. It took my husband about 2 hours to put together- I suggest to read the instructions several times to get each part installed correctly. he is a handy person but mechanism can easily be installed crooked- We had problems with installing the Manuel hydraulic lift and got it turned around and crooked so It would not work correctly so we Attempted to call tech support that the company listed in the Manuel. That was a big joke. We got redirected twice to a salesperson for life insurance. The third time we got a message to leave our name and number and they will return your call. 5 days have passed and still no call back. Since then we finally figured out the correct placement of the lift and it works properly now. I am happy with the cabinet and how well it performs for me. Value for the money is good- I was looking at cheaper cabinets but saw that the reviews were negative on storing the machine inside the cabinet- which for me is important since I live in a small place and have a heavy machine. So take that into consideration when deciding on a cheaper cabinet. The warranty on the cabinet is great.

Been looking for a sewing table that has a lift and isn’t insanely expensive and super mobile and this was perfect. Very easy to assemble and came with spares. Very good quality and makes a huge difference from the cheaper one I previously owned that had the same style shelf snapped off— This is incredibly sturdy and you wont have to worry about it falling apart. Great purchase I feel like it will last me a long time.

Great cabinet! One person can assemble, but recommend 2 when putting the lift on. Make sure to watch video and follow instructions when installing the lift. My only complaint is the table top hinges aren't that great. It makes the top a little wobbly when closed. Other than that I love it! I have a Janome MC9850 and it fits perfectly with some room to spare. Don't be afraid to push down with some force when testing the lift.

Update 2 - friendly Customer Service quickly responded with a new door. Very grateful fir the quick turn around. This is a good buy. Stows away small, strong for quilt work and backed by the seller.Update - Customer support was quick to respond and said they’ll send a solution within 48 hrs. Yeah! Gave back a star.While it’s excellent as a space saving sewing center I have to downgrade my review.The front door fell off (2 mo. old) leaving big holes in the pasteboard where the screws went. Waiting on support to advise a solution. Unless I can find a temporary solution to support the top swing door (which rests on the front door), it’s unusable for sewing at this time.It was used in a carpeted room for a quilt project. I don't know if either figured into the particle board falling out at the screw points. If it did, then that’s a design flaw.Replaced a bookcase with a small foot print space-wise. Opens up large enough to support making a large quilt. It took me longer than an hour to assemble but I like puzzles.

I really wanted a new sewing cabinet to go with my new sewing machine. This is pretty darn perfect. I love the hydraulic lift. I also like that it is on casters. I can move it around easily. I did have help putting it together. I highly recommend that, since it is pretty heavy. I found that if I held the parts in the same direction as the instructions, that helped make sure everything was assembled correctly. Work through the instructions slowly.I did find the door was damaged slightly during shipping. I contacted the manufacturer and they replaced it immediately. Thanks for that!!!

Not the easiest to assemble, but it is lovely and perfect for a smaller sewing area. Note: there are 3 ‘Judy’ models. When looking for instructions online, be mindful of your model number. Parts lists are different!

It took me about 2-1/2 hours to assemble and I had no trouble following the instructions. I love how my machine fits down inside and the cabinet folds up and doesn't take up much space when I am not using it.I ordered the plexiglass insert from Arrow and it fits perfectly. I had to lower the lift an 1/8" so everything was level. It was easy to do BUT, one of the screws was so tight I almost stripped it getting it loose (even with a hammer drill) to lower the lift. They shouldn't tighten them that much! The other screw I was able to loosen with a hand screwdriver and a bit of effort.My only complaint is there is not enough space to the right of the machine for scissors and a pin cushion. I put up a shelf just above the height of the cabinet to take care of this.

I loved the concept and price point of this sewing cabinet that I had planned to double as a small craft desk and sewing desk BUT, the picture was a bit deceiving with it being white cabinet in the photo on white background it looked like it had a white back to it but it is open. The instructions were not very clear and the lift was horrible to install. The entire thing is off center and the front door isn't flush/ level. Further frustration is that because it is made with pressed board rather than wood it's very easy to ruin it w/ a mallet to try to square it up. Lastly, the lift is really hard to press to lift I'm no wilting violet and it takes all my upper body strength to activate it. For the price I expected particle board but with the brand I had expected a better system.
