Upgrade your sewing studio with the Kangaroo XL & Joey Sewing Cabinet with Dual-Rail Electric Lift. Designed for sewists and quilters working with today's larger sewing machines, this premium workstation combines an extra-large machine opening, expansive project support, programmable powered lift positioning, and the included Joey rolling storage caddy.
The programmable electric lift uses a dual-rail system and remote control to make machine positioning effortless. The XL cabinet accommodates compatible sewing machines up to 65 lbs and provides an extra-large 30-1/2" × 14-1/2" lift opening. Collapsible rear and right-side leaves extend the work area for quilts and other large projects, while the Joey adds three locking soft-closing drawers for thread, notions, tools, and project supplies.

Why Customers Love This Cabinet
The Kangaroo XL & Joey is made for sewists who need more than a basic sewing table. The extra-large lift opening gives larger machines the room they require, while the electric lift eliminates the need to manually position a heavy machine. Programmable settings make it easier to return to preferred working heights from project to project.
For quilters, the collapsible rear quilt leaf and right-side extension provide valuable support for large pieces of fabric. The Joey rolling caddy keeps thread, notions, tools, and project materials organized without permanently consuming the main sewing surface. When the extra storage is not needed, the Joey can be tucked away.
