Bring more room to your sewing studio with the Kangaroo XL & Joey Sewing Cabinet with Hydraulic Lift. Built around an extra-large sewing machine opening and an expansive work surface, the Kangaroo XL is designed for quilters and sewists who need more room for today's larger sewing and quilting machines.
The 3-position hydraulic lift moves a compatible machine between free-arm, flat-bed, and storage positions. The cabinet's 30-1/2" × 14-1/2" lift opening is designed for large machines up to 65 lbs, while the collapsible side and rear leaves provide additional support for large projects. The included Joey rolling storage cabinet adds three soft-closing drawers and can be tucked away when not needed.

Why Customers Love This Cabinet
The Kangaroo XL & Joey is aimed at sewists who have outgrown smaller sewing cabinets. Its extra-large lift opening gives larger machines more room, while the 65-lb capacity makes it suitable for many heavy sewing and quilting machines. The three lift positions let you change how the machine sits in the cabinet depending on the sewing task or storage needs.
Large quilting projects benefit from the collapsible rear quilt leaf and right-side extension leaf, while the Joey provides dedicated rolling storage without permanently occupying the main work surface. When the additional workspace is not needed, the leaves collapse and the Joey can be tucked away for a more compact setup.
