The primary benefit of Horn, Koala, etc. is how they fold up completely when you want to put your hobby away and use the room for a different purpose. However, in order for those cabinets to fold up, they have a lot of wasted space beneath the sewing surface. If you know you will have your sewing cabinet set up all the time, and you get a Koala or a Horn, you could always slide your own storage bins behind and beneath the sewing cabinet to use some of that wasted space. But cost-wise, you can probably get something MUCH nicer for the same money or less if you have it custom made for you. Consider: you get order two kitchen base cabinets in stock sizes for $500 each. Then you really splurge and add a granite countertop for $1000 and a lift mechanism for a couple hundred dollars. You now have a SPECTACULAR custom sewing cabinet for less than $2500. I think the Koalas are going for around $2800 now, and they are not made of wood that is as solid or as nice as kitchen cabinets are. Of course if you use a laminate countertop material and base units that are in stock at Home Depot or from Ikea or something like that, you could probably come up with a great sewing cabinet for a third of what the name brand sewing cabinets cost.Rebecca Gracehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14801489818836195754noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3816121512164080677.post-6134632382037066002015-08-17T11:13:17.618-04:002015-08-17T11:13:17.618-04:00Drooling. --Say what do you think about the cost/b...Drooling. --Say what do you think about the cost/benefit of having someone make a custom sewing cabinet vs. buying a Horn or Koala? wrighaxhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00613842569092150047noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3816121512164080677.post-3470012034614955272015-08-16T14:48:29.448-04:002015-08-16T14:48:29.448-04:00What a fabulous creative space.

Rebecca your studio is a dream space! I love so many things you've thought out in such a well organized way. Right off the bat, I'm going to line my drawers so things don't slide around. Simple and effective - I love that. My favorite part is the all the glorious light in your space, both the natural kind and the electric. I also love that there are places for your kiddos to hang out. A beautiful tour - thank you for sharing!
