The Kangaroo Bandicoot Sewing Cabinet is a mid-size, multi-functional sewing cabinet designed to give you a dedicated sewing workstation without permanently taking over your room. Its three-position hydraulic lift supports free-arm sewing, flatbed sewing, and machine storage, while the cabinet expands to approximately five feet of workspace when opened.
Bandicoot combines a large machine lift opening with integrated thread storage, door cubbies, two shelves, and heavy-duty locking casters. The cabinet closes into a compact footprint when your sewing session is finished, making it a practical choice for home sewing rooms and studios.

Why Customers Love This Cabinet
Bandicoot is built for sewists who want a serious sewing workstation but still need flexibility in their room. The hydraulic lift lets you choose the machine position that fits the task, from free-arm work to a flatbed setup and finally a storage position when the machine is put away.
When opened, Bandicoot provides approximately five feet of creative workspace. When the project is finished, the cabinet closes down to a much smaller footprint and can be moved using its locking casters.
Storage is built directly into the cabinet, with 20 thread spool holders, door cubbies, and two shelves. That makes it easier to keep frequently used supplies close to the machine instead of scattered around the sewing room.
