Product Information
Full details
The Arrow Cabinets Alice Sewing Cabinet (Alice 205) is an ideal workspace solution for home sewists who need a compact yet highly functional setup in a limited-space environment. Its standout benefit is the 3-position hydraulic lift, which seamlessly transitions your machine between free arm, flat bed, and storage positions. While it offers excellent organization and mobility, the primary caveat is its fixed size, which may feel restrictive for users working exclusively on large-scale quilting projects.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To set up your cabinet, ensure you have sufficient floor space to assemble the frame and drawers. The hydraulic lift mechanism should be tested with your specific machine weight to ensure smooth operation; consult the included manual for height adjustments. Regarding compatibility, the lift is designed for standard home sewing machines; if you possess an extra-large model, check the machine base dimensions against the cabinet's lift platform size. To care for your cabinet, wipe the surface with a soft, damp cloth and avoid harsh chemical cleaners. Periodically check the locking casters to ensure they are free of debris to maintain easy mobility and optimal stability.
