Kangaroo three-position airlift holds most sewing machines allowing you to sit comfortably at the correct height and position for center needle sewing. The included quilt leaf on the back expands your work area preventing large quilts or pieces of fabric from falling on the floor. The quilt leaf folds down for easy storage and a large pullout drawer allows for the storage of notions. Included is the joey three-drawer storage unit that tucks neatly into the kangaroo cabinet to maximize space. The false front removes so you can use the knee lifter that came with your sewing machine or snaps in place to trim the cabinet front. Need more storage? Additional joey units can be ordered and complement any sewing or craft room.

Overall, I am very happy with the kangaroo sewing table and joey drawers! I ultimately chose this set because of all the storage space the drawers provide, and the drawers are all empty. Other kangaroo cabinets have drawers dedicated for thread storage, which I do not need. The quilt table leaf makes the table very large. Itll be great for holding a large quilt and it easily fits my large cutting mat and still had some extra table space. The table leaf folds down allowing the table to be compact for most sewing uses and storage.
The extra table space provided by adding a table extension on top of the desk drawer is very useful, but make sure you dont store anything you frequently need in that drawer. I myself storing the pieces for my quilt in the drawer.
My only complaint is that theyve updated the drawers to soft close gliders. This makes the drawers a little harder to open. This is fine for the drawer built into the table, but not for the set of Joey drawers. The Joey drawers have rolling caster feet that do not lock, so you have to brace the set of drawers while trying to pull one of the drawers open. It is very frustrating. If I could, I would subtract half a star from my rating.... But I still give it 5 stars because the table is very well worth it!!
The boxes that the table and drawers arrived in were big and heavy, make sure you have another person to help carry boxes. Everything was packed well and nothing was damaged during shipment. Assembly was time consuming. The table took about 4 hours and required some help for several steps. The drawers took about 1.5 hours to assemble and were easy to do mostly with one person but a second person is helpful as well. I highly recommend watching the video of assembly instructions on the Arrow Sewing website before starting. Theyve altered the instructions around Step 1113 for the table and its easier than what is printed. Also, a power drill and WD40 are a requirement, you can technically assemble it without them, but youll be tried. And make sure you use your own wrench, the one provided is incredibly unhelpful.
The airlift requires a strong push, especially if you have a lighter machine. Adjusting the airlift to your machine height is a bit tough for to space limitations, so make sure you really tighten the screws or have a drill with a long phillips bit.. Anne. VA. 2021-01-04 13:32:25
