My cabinets are the Koala Cub and Outback, which are perfect for me. All the years I sewed previously, I used a table to cut & sew, but when we bought this house, my DS decided I should have 'real' sewing machine cabinets instead. He did some research, and after I told him about Nancy Zieman redoing her sewing studio with the Koala brand, he ordered their video and catalog. For Mother's Day three years ago, he presented me with the ones I have. The Outback has space for the serger to remain ready to use at all times, and the extension table for cutting smaller pieces of fabric(I still use the kitchen island, which is 3 x6 feet to cut any large piece). They're easy to fold away when I need to put up the twin bed in the sewing room if I have an overnight guest. After three years, I frankly would not trade them. However, I must say, my DD likes her Horn cabinet as much as I like mine, but she has to lift her serger off the floor since hers does not have a space for it. The Outback is great for that feature, I just turn my chair 45 degrees from the sewing machine to the serger. It has 2 small shelves under the machine for manuals and one deep shelf some 14 inches wide for other sewing books, projects or whatever. When he bought them, I received as gifts for each cabinet, 2 large boxes of assorted Madeira embroidery thread, which I use all the time with no problems, plus 2 stuffed Koalas, which I gave to a DGD and a dear friend on her 77th birthday, who collects stuffed animals.
