Koala Compact Sewing Cabinet
Big functionality in a small footprint
The Koala Compact Sewing Cabinet is built for sewists who don’t have a dedicated room but still want a serious, ergonomic workstation. It parks neatly as a sleek cabinet, then folds out to a full sewing station with a left leaf extension and front/back support so you can handle piecing, quilting, or garment work without fabric fighting you.
- Space-saving cabinet that transforms from a compact cube into a full sewing surface with a generous left leaf extension.
- Three-position hydraulic lift lets you move your machine between flatbed, free-arm, and storage positions with a light touch.
- Door-mounted storage with removable trays and thread boxes keeps bobbins, feet, tools, and notions visible and within reach.
- Rounded, finished edges and flush-mount hinges help prevent fabric and quilts from catching while you sew.
- Easy-roll, lockable casters on a reinforced base frame so you can move it to sew, then lock it in place for stability.
- Comes fully assembled from the factory—just add casters, handles, and storage boxes so you’re ready to sew.
- Offered in two finishes—English White Ash and Grey Oak—to blend with modern craft rooms and living spaces.
