Comet & Venus Sewing Desk

I am delighted with this table. Be warned that it is BIG - you might want to double-check it will suit your space. It took me some time to assemble on my own, but the instructions are exceptionally clear, with all parts clearly marked. It went together perfectly. The only part I struggled with was the adjustable shelf, which I found easier to fit BEFORE carefully putting the table upright. The whole thing is extremely sturdy and, thanks to the adjustable feet, it sits very steadily on my slightly uneven floor. Although it is heavy, it glides across the floor when I want to move it. Oh yes, and the cat loves the lower shelf!

It takes two people and you need to read the instructions carefully, but apart from that it’s a breeze to build. I’m not sure the instructions for the shelf that can be lifted or dropped are perfect, but we worked it out. Once completed, it’s very sturdy.

This sewing table/desk is a really great concept and I would highly recommend it to anyone who needs a proper desk but doesn't have room to have one permanently in position. The instructions are a little confusing and it took a few attempts to get the legs on the right way round (you need to look at the diagrams very carefully and the legs are numbered both on themselves and on the diagram), but once it was all fixed together it was great. It is easy to put up and take down and folds up really quite small. It is a little heavy, but I imagine if you are able to carry heavy shopping bags then you should be fine doing this on your own, otherwise you may need someone else to assist you. Obviously it is the size of the tabletop, but the legs fold in and it is only as wide as the brackets for the drop down shelf and it stands up against the wall very safely. I have been using this desk with my sewing machine (which is reasonably heavy) and the desk feels pretty sturdy. If you have a sewing machine which goes very fast then there might be some vibration, but this is a folding desk not a solid one, so this is to be expected. This desk feels very safe and sturdy and if you need a space saving desk for sewing or crafting then this desk is a must. This desk can also be used as an office desk with your home PC. The dropdown shelf is perfect for your keyboard and can be adjusted to several heights using the allenkey provided. The bolts only need to be loosened and the shelf pulls forward and slots into various holes for the required height, then you just need to tighten the bolts up. I did have some contact with the seller regarding this desk and they sorted out my issue very quickly and efficiently and I was impressed with the service I received.

Very happy with my purchase, bought as a sewing table. Easy to put together in half an hour. Just the right height fir me .

An excellent table for my Bernina sewing machine. It feels nice and sturdy and is the perfect size for my machine, material and various bits and bobs to be ready to hand. It does vibrate a bit if I push my machine to its top speed but at normal speeds there is no movement. I had an issue with a part being faulty on delivery which the seller sorted out for me quickly and efficiently. I would recommend this product and the seller.

It is very sturdy but a bit long to assemble. However, in the description it said folding. I expected a fully foldable table but only a small flap at the very end of the table is able to fold while the rest cannot. It is too heavy and takes up space so I would've preferred it to be fully foldable.

I only received this 3 days ago, and plan to use this for sewing and crafts. My sewing machine fits perfectly on the insert. The table seems quite sturdy and stable. The parts were clearly labelled, the instructions were clear, and the table was easy to assemble. Although the instructions advised that 2 people were required to turn the table upright, I (a 5'2" septuagenarian) was able to do this on my own by first collapsing the legs, standing the table on end, then unfolding one leg, tilting the table into an upright position, and then unfolding the second leg. I'm very happy so far.

I bought it for a Sewing machine , It is very sturdy and a good height for me . I’m very pleased I chose this model. I think it is value for money. It came with very good instructions to assemble and all parts etc were numbered and well packed.

I am a new sewist and wanted a sewing table to fit in a guest bedroom. After researching ideas and looking at other possible sources, I came to Amazon. The reviews for this table were mostly positive- some reviews mentioned vibrating when going at top speed. I haven’t noticed that at all- granted I am a beginner. My husband put the table together and found it easy, with well labeled pieces and great instructions. The table is very solid, and is great quality. Love the drop down section for the machine, and also the end flap which is great for cutting, and I can see for holding larger pieces of work. Delivery was prompt. It was well packaged and arrived intact. Very happy with my purchase. I would definitely recommend!

Easy to assemble. Instructions very clear. Wobbles slightly so added washers to tighten screws that connect the table hinges which came preassembled. I also added heavy duty locking casters in the legs pre drilled holes. The multi functional use, 47.5” x 28” space and that it folds to hide under a sofa or store in a closet is why I selected this table. I am satisfied with the quality but realize I should have considered the smaller Sew Ready Rollaway II table that is conveniently shipped assembled. I prefer the Rollaway sleeker table design.

Been looking for one and glad I took the chance on this! Sewing is much more comfortable and fun now that I have the proper table. More room on table top and drawers than I thought.

Likes: - clear instruction, similar to IKEA but better as all parts are numbered. - modern table design - sturdy table - speedy delivery - value for money - overall great experience with the service and table

I have been using a smaller "Gidget" table for several years. It worked for my small sewing machine but my new/larger machine does not fit in the drop-down tray I spent hours looking at tables and reading reviews before selecting this one This has lots of great features (see below) but I wanted a drop-down tray large enough for my machine. Order placed December 31; scheduled for January 8 delivery (Holiday and 2 weekends in between) Very pleased that it arrived earlier than scheduled, arriving on January 6 Saw comments either about this table (or others I considered) stating the table top was damaged upon arrival Mine arrived in excellent condition Only a couple of dimples on one end - does not appear to be from packaging and will not affect the functionality of the table All screws, parts, Allen wrench and hex wrench included All screws and parts properly labeled All holes were properly placed and drilled If you use the Allen wrench, it will take a long time to assemble The Allen wrench is short and some of the screws are placed so the wrench needs to be repositioned frequently My husband used an Allen drill bit for his drill, along with a flexible extension, which made assembly much faster You will also need a Phillips screwdriver, which is not included Directions are not listed in numerical order If you follow each page as shown, the table goes together very well When attached, the shelf support did not pop into the plastic bracket This was corrected by loosening the hinge, positioning the shelf support then re-tightening the hinges I will probably keep the shelf up most of the time My sewing machine (Singer Modern Quilter) measures approximately 22" x 9.5" The drop-down tray measures 23" x 10.75" The power cord and foot pedal cord connect on the right side of my machine The larger extension table will not fit on the machine with the drop-down tray lowered I have a small accessory tray that came with my machine The machine is very snug side to side with the cords connected and the accessory tray attached In fact, we fed the power cord through the bracket on the side of the drop-down tray If you plan to use the free arm on a regular basis, lowering and raising the drop-down tray will be inconvenient, especially if your machine is heavy In my opinion, it is best to remove any size sewing machine before adjusting the tray position This table has a generous work area and total dimensions of the table are: Entire table top measures 60" wide x 23 1/2" deep x 29" high The drop-down tray drops 3" My machine measures 3.75" My machine does not sit flush with the table top even with the drop-down tray in the lowest position This may or may not be an issue for you It is not an issue for me, as the accessory tray has a rounded edge The left side of the table measurements are as follows: Table top with leaf down - approximately 6" wide Leaf - approximately 9 3/8" wide Top left with leaf up - approximately 15 1/2" The right side of the table measurements are as follows: Table top - approximately 21 1/2" wide Cloth drawers - 13" wide x 3 1/2" deep (three drawers total) The cloth drawers are a thin canvas-type fabric, black in color Each one has a large grommet-style opening The drawers sit on a track There is a bottom insert for each drawer The bottom inserts are made from cardboard with the canvas-type fabric on the top I would not put extremely heavy items in the drawers The drawers offer ample space for a variety of sewing supplies The drawers do not have dividers; however, you could add small plastic trays if needed There is a metal shelf beneath the table The shelf measures approximately 32" wide x 7" deep Although I have not yet used the machine with this new table, my shins do not hit the shelf when sitting at the table I'm not sure what, if anything, I might use the shelf for on a regular basis The shelf would be a handy place to put the foot pedal when vacuuming under the table Depending on the height of your chair or bench, be careful not to hit your knee on the platform bar, which is attached to the drop-down tray, as you get up and down The table has 6 levelers I am using this on a carpeted floor and may not need to adjust the levelers I have not tried sliding the table with the machine in place and it's probably best/safest not to The table slides very easily on my carpet with no sewing machine or supplies The table top and drop-down tray are white and approximately 5/8" deep The table top seems to be Formica and has a bit of a texture to it It would be nice to have a larger work area to the left of the machine If you are right handed, the large area to the right is great if you need to write while seated (I am left handed) There is sufficient table surface for sewing supplies and/or a lamp to the right of the machine Having just set it up this evening, I am very pleased with the size, color and functionality of this table. Hope all of this information is helpful; please ask questions and I will answer as best I can.
