    Material

    Edit

    Most sewing tables are either made of wood, melamine, plastic, metal, or particle board. As you may have guessed, not all materials are created with equal strength and durability. Metal sewing tables are usually quite sturdy and offer the most durability. Wooden tables are also sturdy but a little less so than metal types. Wooden tables also have the advantage of being able to absorb sound from the machine. Plastic and particle boards have a classic aid about them and are more affordable.

    Edit

    Size matters when it comes to choosing any sewing table. And the same rule applies to sewing tables with storage. You want storage, of course, but you also want your storage to be comprehensive enough. There should be enough space to maneuver fabric along with room for other equipment, such as a serger.

  • Flexibility

    Flexibility

    Edit

    Another important characteristic of a good sewing table with storage is flexibility and adjustability. While many would love a standard size for the best ergonomic features, there is no such thing when it comes to sewing tables. The dimensions that are great for one may be bad for another. And this is why flexibility and adjustability are huge factors that should never be overlooked.

    Aesthetics

    Edit

    Even though many of us like to deny it, the truth is that looks do matter. Yes, you want a sewing table that is absolutely functional, but you also want something that is appealing to look at.

    Additionally, choosing a table with great colors that match your home décor tends to give joy and put you in the mood to sew.

  • Portability

    Portability

    Edit

    Lastly, a good sewing table with storage should be portable enough to move. Now, this may seem like a paradox seeing as size and flexibility are mentioned above and may be perceived as contradictions. But they're not. They're not because a sewing machine table can be big enough, flexible enough while being portable enough at the same time.
