Product Information
Full details
The Arrow Cabinets Bandicoot is a mid-size sewing solution ideal for hobbyists looking to maximize workspace efficiency without compromising on storage. Its primary benefit is the 3-position hydraulic lift that provides an ergonomic sewing experience, though potential users should note that it requires assembly and occupies a permanent footprint even when folded.

FAQs
What is the maximum weight capacity of the lift?
The hydraulic lift is rated to safely support sewing machines up to 25kg.
Can I use any sewing machine with this cabinet?
Most standard domestic machines will fit, but you should check your machine dimensions against the lift platform size. Custom acrylic inserts are recommended for a flush fit.
Is the cabinet easy to move on carpet?
Yes, the heavy-duty casters are designed for mobility, though ease of movement depends on the depth and texture of your carpet pile.
Does it come pre-assembled?
No, the Bandicoot arrives ready-to-assemble and requires standard tools and manual effort to complete.
Can I store thread inside the unit?
Absolutely, the unit includes 20 dedicated thread spool holders and additional door cubbies for organization.
Troubleshooting
Hydraulic lift does not stay in the desired position
Check the weight of your machine to ensure it is under the 25kg limit and verify that the hydraulic mechanism is properly lubricated and tightened.
Cabinet feels wobbly when the machine is in use
Ensure all four casters are locked and the cabinet is placed on a level surface. Verify that all assembly screws are fully tightened.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Assembly of the Bandicoot cabinet requires two people due to the weight of the panels and the hydraulic mechanism. Ensure you have a clear floor space and a screwdriver set before starting. To maintain the cabinet, use a soft, damp cloth for cleaning; avoid harsh chemical cleaners that may damage the grey laminate finish. Regularly check that the locking casters are clear of thread debris, as this can affect smooth movement. For machine compatibility, measure your sewing machine base carefully; if you desire a perfectly flush surface, contact the manufacturer with your machine model number to order the correct custom acrylic insert, as standard gaps can cause fabric to bunch during precise sewing tasks.
