Finally, after I can’t tell you how many years, I scored a new sewing cabinet. The machine I had before this one came with one, though it was in pretty bad shape and not much to brag about, but since moving onto a new machine, I’ve been toting this around trying to find the right spot to work, too often ending up on the kitchen table.

I decided it was time to try shopping around for a sewing cabinet again, and of course, I ended up finding one at the very last place in the world I would expect, Wal-Mart. I’ve often stated my loathing for shopping at this store. It’s big, obnoxious, crowded, ugh! But I was surfing on-line looking for cabinets and finding lots of great ones that were way over my price range, and then I went over the Target.com, where I have purchased a few small pieces of furniture that I was very happy with. I found what I believe is this exact same sewing cabinet and was just about to buy it for $170 when it occurred to me to check Wal-Mart.com. Thank goodness I did because I found this one for $99.82. Plus, if I got it through the ship to store versus shipping directly to my house, shipping was free. Now, of course, this meant going to the store, ick, but I have to say I was amazed at how helpful everyone was there for a change. I actually had multiple people ask me if I needed assistance. Normally, I could be on fire and no one would notice me in that store.

Here is the cabinet closed up. It comes on wheels, so you can move it around when necessary.

The front door opens up and is attached under the table piece so you have room for your material and wha- nots as you sew. There are also little plastic storage spots inside the door for things like buttons, and I should have taken a picture with the other door open because there are adjustable shelves in there as well.

I have this set up in the guest room, so if I do have guests (which is pretty rare), I just have to put the machine inside the cabinet on the shelf under it, close it up, and wheel it away some place like my office. Other than missing a few screws, my husband found it pretty easy to put together, and overall, I’m thrilled with my purchase. Considering that I saw sewing cabinets as high as $600, for less than $100, I think this is an awesome deal.
