When space is a concern, sometimes it becomes difficult to have furniture that serves only one purpose. Small spaces often require multi-tasking pieces or portable pieces that can be rolled and stored away.
The Arrow 98611 Gidget II perfectly fits the bill. This sewing table has legs that can fold up for storage or lock for stability. It has wheels on one side of the table so you can roll it around easily when you need to take it out or put it back into storage.
This table fits larger machines that can weigh up to 40 lbs. It measures 23-1/2 inches deep x 12-1/2 inches deep, which means you need to take into account any knobs and things that extend from your machine.
The Arrow 98611 Gidget II has a platform that can be raised or lowered based on your needs. When raised, it can be flush against the table surface to give you a flat work surface like a normal table. In this position, you can use the machine freearm. When the platform is lowered, you can have your machine arm flush for a flatbed surface.
As for durability, this sewing table comes with a melamine surface that is resistant to marring and steel legs that are built to support 40 lbs of weight. The Arrow Gidget II comes in a clean white finish with a ruler on the edge for your convenience.
The simplicity of this table makes it the best choice for small homes, taking to classes, or in RVs. The Arrow Gidget II is 40 inches wide x 19-3/4 deep x 28-1/4 high, a small sewing table that is good enough for your sewing projects.
Arrow provides a 3-year warranty for any defects during manufacturing and a warranty of 15 days go cover any shipping issues.

Very good sewing table
I've had my table for about ten months. I love this table with custom insert! It's sturdy and it's everything it's advertised to be. You won't regret buying it.

Great little table!
This table is all it claims to be, I am very happy with it and look forward to taking it on a quilt retreat. Great with the acrylic insert.

I love this portable table!
I love this portable table. I have two machines -- an old Pfaff (25 years old) and a new Pfaff Expression 2.0. The table holds the newer, heavier machine just great. I also ordered an insert for the older machine and it fits perfectly. Switching the machines in and out is a breeze. This is so much better than sewing on a table that is too high because the height is much more comfortable with the table -- less strain on the body!Shipping for the table was quick -- ordered one day and it was here the next. I was set-up and sewing in a few minutes. The insert came 2-1/2 weeks later. I wish the adjustment system for the table bed were a little easier but I found a solution that works for me. I left the table bed in the position that it came and bought some 1/4" thick 12" x 12" cork tiles. I just layer them on the table bed until I get the height I need to make the machine flush with the insert -- then I don't have to monkey with raising and lower the table bed when I switch machines.. Works like a charm for me!

Great Little table
I have been looking at sewing tables with drop insert for a while and just could't swing $$. Read Leah Day's free motion quilting blog and decided to give the Gidget II a try. Oh my gosh... I love her. Sewvacdirect was great to work with. Ordered it on Saturday and was sewing on it by Thursday. Very quick delivery. Good sturdy product. Only "quirk' that I wish Arrow would fix is the chain system to adjust the drop down piece is really a bit of a pain to adjust...surely someone can figure a better way of adjusting it. However for the price, I would buy another one....in fact getting my 80 yr old mom one for Christmas...she keeps complaining her back hurts from how she has her machine set up.

Very sturdy little sewing table!
I ordered this table for its compact size and custom cutout for my beloved Bernina. I sew in front of a south facing window and need a table set up only a few days at a time usually. The table is very sturdy and stable even with the machine going full tilt. I am more than pleased. SewVac guys were great and answered all my questions before I ordered.

Glad I found it
Received my table. Set it up in no time at all. Holds my machine like a dream. Using it in a spare bedroom. Like the fact that it can disappear when not in use. Have not recieved the insert yet, but I am sure it will be great. Company responds to your questions very fast. :)

Beginner quilter
Product arrived quickly and easy to set up because it was already assembled. Workmanship very sturdy. A little heavier than I expected, but probably necessary for strength. I was happily sewing on it and enjoyed the lower height. Pushed it up next to my kitchen table and zoomed through a quilt. Then put it away quickly when finished. Plenty of room for my sewing machine to fit in the drop down but I didn't even need to try that feature yet. Very pleased with this purchase and quick delivery from this company.

No Title
I was very pleased with the table and would've given it a full 5 stars except for one small thing. One end had brown stains which will not affect the table in the least - it's still sturdy and will serve its purpose well. I'll probably purchase a second one.
