Build your sewing studio around a workstation made for serious quilting and embroidery. The Kangaroo Sydney XL Sewing Cabinet pairs an extra-large lift opening with expansive project support, integrated storage, pressing space, and a compact footprint when closed.
The electric version uses a dual-rail electric lift with remote control and a programmable control board for up to four height settings. Its A14 opening measures 30-1/2" W × 14-1/2" D and accommodates compatible sewing machines up to 65 lbs.

Why Customers Love This Cabinet
The Sydney XL is designed around the needs of sewists who have outgrown a basic sewing table. The extra-large A14 opening and 65-lb capacity make it suitable for many premium machines, while the electric lift makes changing machine height a simple push-button task.
Large quilting projects benefit from the expanded leaf system, which provides support around the sewing area and helps reduce fabric pulling toward the floor. The cabinet also gives embroidery sewists dedicated storage options instead of leaving bulky equipment on the work surface.
When the workday is over, the leaves fold down so the cabinet occupies approximately a 61" × 27" footprint. That makes the Sydney XL a powerful studio workstation without requiring a permanently expanded footprint.
