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

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.

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.

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.

It was easy to set up and is exactly as shown. We had a question and their custom service was great, staying with us step by step until our question was answered. We would definitely recommend it!

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.

Love my Judy cabinet! It works very well & is a great way to store my sewing machine! It’s sturdy, fits well in our RV, & is perfect for what I needed!

I bought two of these cabinets, both delivered together. One is damaged and needs replacement parts. I am in a vicious circle trying to get results. I have done what I was instructed to do, which was to contact the manufacturer, Arrow. Very poor communication with Arrow, they do not return calls or e-mails in a timely manner. The cabinet that I did receive undamaged works fine. It is painted particle board, as expected, and functions the way it is supposed to. It does take strength to move the machine up and down. Not everyone will be able to do it. The door should be more efficient with more storage units, which I will customize. The Judy has three things going for it: the price, the size (small enough to fit in a smaller room), and the lift. Unfortunately, I expect I will have to replace it someday because it will break during normal use.

Assembly instructions are clear and it is easy to assemble, but quite a few parts. Took me at least 90 minutes. Screw holes for hinges weren’t pre-drilled, so having a drill helps. The lift mechanism doesn’t quite go low enough for the sewing machine to rest under the cover, so I will have to remove it and drop the lift guides down an inch or so. Its a nice small cabinet.
