When customers see the 500 series cabinet, one word always pops out of their mouth: "CUTE!" Besides being a cute cabinet, this cabinet offers most of the features our larger cabinets have, but in a compact size. The cabinet's air-lift mechanism raises and lowers your sewing machine into place with a simple push. The mechanism is adjustable for all types of sewing machine base heights. The cabinet also comes with a unique universal insert to create a flush sewing surface when the mechanism is in the flatbed position. The cabinet can be used for your sewing machine or serger. The cute shuttered door has 2 thread spindles and 2 trays for your sewing accessories. When closed the shuttered door gives the cabinet a cottage look and could be used as a night stand or other fine piece of furniture in a room. The classic oak-grain finish complements any decor and allows your cabinet to blend into any room or match other oak furniture.
The cabinet ships in 2 boxes and is assembled using a hammer, a screwdriver, a wrench and about 1 hour's worth of time. Arrow also offers a toll-free number if you need help.

Finally got it put together. The instructions are a little less descriptive than I'd have liked, so if you're bad at put together furniture, be warned. Read, and re-read before you start. Other than that - the construction is solid. As long as the airlift continues to work, I'll be one happy camper! I'm going to order the custom insert for my machine, since that has some glowing reviews. Can't beat the price here - I looked all over the web, and this is the best around + free shipping. Thanks
