Kangaroo Sewing Furniture Model: Melbourne K4700M XL Lift Opening
Melbourne Sewing Cabinet by Kangaroo Sewing Furniture
XL sewing and quilting cabinet with collapsible quilt leaf, right-side extension, and hydraulic or electric lift options — engineered to help you sew in comfort, even in a small space.
- Extra-large 30 ½” x 14 ½” lift opening fits today’s biggest sewing and quilting machines (up to 65 lbs).
- Collapsible rear quilt leaf and right-side extension leaf keep large projects supported and off the floor.
- Choice of smooth hydraulic lift or programmable electric lift with remote control for fast position changes.
- Deep, full-view drawers, removable tray, thread spool holder, and dedicated embroidery arm storage.
- Split-cabinet design with locking heavy-duty casters for stability, mobility, and flexible studio layouts.
The Melbourne Sewing Cabinet turns any corner of your home into a professional-feeling sewing studio — with the space, support, and ergonomics you need to sew longer and finish bigger projects with less strain.
Comfort & Ergonomics
Melbourne is built for sewists who spend real time at their machines. The expansive worksurface opens up with a rear quilt leaf and right-side extension, keeping quilts, garments, and home-décor projects from dragging, pulling, or sliding onto the floor. A large top drawer with a removable cover doubles as extra worksurface and left-side support, so your wrists, shoulders, and back stay in a more neutral, relaxed position while you sew.
- Three primary sewing positions (storage, free-arm, and flatbed) for true ergonomic setup.
- Optional custom acrylic insert creates a flush flatbed surface tailored to your specific machine.
- Easy access to tools and notions reduces reaching and twisting during long sewing sessions.
Smart Studio-Friendly Design
Designed as an XL sewing hub for modern machines, the Melbourne cabinet uses a unique split design to improve maneuverability in tight rooms and multi-purpose spaces. When you’re done sewing, simply lower your machine into the cabinet, close the well cover, and the unit doubles as a streamlined desk or sideboard.
Key Design Features
- XL 30 ½” x 14 ½” lift opening supports machines up to 65 lbs.
- Available with hydraulic lift or upgradeable to one-touch programmable electric lift with remote.
- Woodgrain melamine laminate finish for a clean, furniture-grade look that resists everyday wear.
- Locking heavy-duty casters provide stability while sewing and easy movement when rearranging your studio.
- Pairs perfectly with the Adelaide Storage Cabinet for a matching, expandable storage system.
Storage & Organization
Melbourne is more than just a table — it’s a full storage station for your everyday sewing tools and project supplies. Full-view, soft-closing drawers keep everything organized and in reach, while a dedicated embroidery arm compartment converts to shelving when you need flexible storage instead.
- Large, full-extension top drawer with removable cover for storing thread, rulers, and tools.
- Soft-close drawers with removable tray and thread spool holder for high-capacity, tidy storage.
- Dynamic embroidery arm compartment that can be reconfigured as adjustable shelving.
- Open cubbies ideal for books, stabilizers, cutting mats, or specialty accessories.
