For small rooms, a transformer sewing table is ideal. The designs of this furniture are different, so it is important to choose the most suitable based on certain criteria.
A significant factor is the area of the room where the sewing corner will be located. In this case, a folding table for sewing is the best choice for a small room, because when folded it does not take up much space and does not look bulky. Some models have wheels for easy movement.
The size of the machine or overlock is also significant. In addition to the working surface, you need a place to place fabric, accessories.
The reliability of the sewing table depends on the quality of the material. Natural wood is the best choice, but it significantly increases the cost of the finished product.
