This sewing table/cupboard is exactly what I needed for my sewing room which is also a den.  It's reasonably sturdy, has lots of storage for various sewing and crafting supplies (including my sewing machine), and is a great size for sewing when the leaf is extended.  I really like the fact that when company is coming, I can close it up and it looks just like a regular piece of furniture.  It's too bad it is made of laminated pressboard instead of real wood, but I'm not complaining for the price we paid.  It took my husband a little more than 2 hours to put together, but the instructions were fairly straightforward.  All in all, a great purchase and exactly as described and pictured.
