Build a dedicated sewing and quilting workstation with the Kangaroo & Joey Sewing Cabinet and its 3-position hydraulic lift. Designed for serious home sewists and quilters, this full-size cabinet combines a large expandable work surface with integrated storage and the included Joey rolling storage cabinet.
The hydraulic lift provides three working positions for compatible sewing machines: free-arm, flat-bed, and storage. The cabinet supports machines up to 55 lbs and includes a large lift opening, expandable quilt leaves, a removable-cover top drawer, a sewing-well cover panel, and heavy-duty locking casters. The included Joey storage caddy adds three locking drawers and can be positioned as additional storage or workspace.

Why Customers Love This Cabinet
The Kangaroo & Joey is designed for sewists who need a substantial workstation without sacrificing organization. The hydraulic lift makes it easy to change between sewing positions, while the expandable leaves provide additional support when handling quilts and other large projects. The Joey rolling cabinet keeps frequently used notions and accessories close to the main workstation without permanently taking up the primary sewing surface.
When the sewing machine is moved into storage, the included wood panel covers the sewing well so the cabinet can function as additional workspace. Heavy-duty locking casters also make it easier to reposition the furniture during studio changes while keeping it stable when you are sewing.
