The new Elevating Desk from Koala Studios makes the perfect addition to any sewing room for several reasons. Learn more about ergonomics, flexibility, storage, and other benefits below.

• Ergonomics: Sewing often involves detailed work that requires good posture and focus. A standing desk like the Koala Studios Elevating Desk can be adjusted to the correct height, promoting better ergonomics and reducing the risk of discomfort or pain associated with long periods of sitting. This cabinet allows you to adjust the height from 25-1/8” to 50-5/8” tall, so whatever your height, you are sure to find a level that is comfortable for you.
• Flexibility: Standing desks typically allow users to easily switch between sitting and standing positions. This flexibility is useful for sewers who may want to change their working position throughout the day to prevent stiffness or fatigue. By changing from sitting to standing, you can use one desk for sewing and piecing, then raise the surface to find a comfortable height for cutting fabric, pressing seams, and more!
• Storage: The Koala Studios Elevating Desk features a full-extension drawer to store supplies like rulers, pins, marking pens, scissors, and thread. Keep your workspace clear with this soft-close drawer.
• Improved Blood Circulation: Standing while working can help improve blood circulation, reducing the risk of health issues associated with prolonged sitting, such as poor circulation and muscle tightness.
• Complimentary of your home décor: The Elevating Desk comes in two beautiful, modern finishes to complement the décor and design of your sewing space and home. Choose between our best-selling English White Ash, or the new Grey Oak finish. As with all our finishes, these mar-resistant surfaces are easy to clean, water resistant, and mimic natural wood grain for a gorgeous look that will serve you for years to come.

Some sewists may find that a combination of sitting and standing throughout the day works best for them. Experimenting with different workspace layouts and paying attention to personal comfort and productivity can help determine the most suitable work environment for a sewing enthusiast like you.

All three of the Koala Studios creative centers feature an XL Electric Glide Lift. These lifts operate on a direct drive rack and pinion system on a dual steel track for smooth and safe lifting.

The XL Electric Glide Lift offers flexibility with your studio. If you are embroidering, just move the lift to sit flat with the top of your cabinet and attach your machine’s embroidery arm. If you want to stow away your cabinet to allow for a clear workspace, just lower the lift all the way and your machine can be stored safely away under the table top. Add the included filler board and you have a smooth workspace perfect for any hobby or activity. If you want a smooth sewing surface, lower your machine so the sewing bed is flush with the table top and put your XL Custom Cut Koala Acrylic Machine Insert in place.

These inserts are custom cut to fit your exact machine make and model to ensure a tight fit every time. Made from heavy gauge acrylic, each insert is smooth and allows fabric to glide over your sewing cabinet with ease. Forget about running out of bobbin thread or losing a quilt square or half square triangle under your insert, the clear acrylic material makes it easy to see what is happening under the surface of your studio. From quilting to garment construction and beyond, acrylic inserts are the perfect accessory for any sewing project.
