Upgrade your sewing studio with the Kangaroo Sydney Lite XL Sewing Cabinet with Hydraulic Lift. Designed for serious quilting, sewing, and embroidery, Sydney Lite XL combines an extra-large machine lift with expansive project support and organized storage in a more streamlined footprint than the full-size Sydney XL.
The XL hydraulic lift accommodates compatible sewing machines up to 65 lbs and uses Lift Assist Technology to help move the machine into position with minimal guidance. The A14 opening measures 30-1/2" W × 14-1/2" D, making the cabinet suitable for many of today's larger premium sewing and embroidery machines.
When your machine is stored, the included sewing well cover helps reclaim the lift area as usable work surface. A rear quilt leaf, right-side leaf, right extension, and left drawer extension provide additional support for large projects, while three soft-closing drawers and a configurable storage cubby keep supplies organized.

Why Customers Love This Cabinet
Sydney Lite XL is built for sewists who want the capacity of a premium large-machine cabinet without the full footprint of the standard Sydney XL. The 65-lb hydraulic lift and A14 opening are designed around today's larger sewing and embroidery machines, while Lift Assist Technology makes machine positioning easier.
Quilters get substantial fabric support from the rear and side leaves, reducing the chance that a large project will drag against the machine. The two rear support arms can also create a convenient secondary position for another machine or serger.
Storage is built around the way sewists actually work. Three soft-closing drawers, a removable thread rack, an accessories tray, and adjustable cubby shelving keep frequently used supplies close without taking over the work surface.
