      Her table came out beautiful, but the price at the end of her finishing it, came out to over $200 and they sell the sew and ready cutting table for $150 or less and it comes with storage which you can fold it down when your done, to have more space. Like in Ikea it's called the Norden table for $199 which comes with the wheels already attached to it and 3 drawers. I like that better because you can keep it open or you can close it. The sew and ready studio has height adjustments, which to me it's better than the Ikea because the Norden doesn't have adjustments and only reaches to 30 inch height.

    @katforgiven6411 2 года назад

    i was thinking, if you put a back on each of the kallix units and leave a space between them when you assembled the table you could store longer items in there. it would make the table a little bit bigger by however much storage space you think would be appropriate for you.
