Craft Tables You Can Buy Instead of DIY

By Patrick Wilson

I get so many questions about the large craft table that I built for my studio nearly 3 years ago. There is not a day that goes by that I don’t use that table. The craft table is huge coming in at around 40 square feet of spacious crafty goodness. I built it for just around $400, which seems pretty pricey for a piece of furniture. That didn’t include the barstools I purchased with it. However, it is the by far the largest piece of furniture in my home. And I don’t realize how large of a crafting area that is until people walk in and say “Whoa that craft table is ginormous!”. So what if you have zero building abilities and have had my large craft table pinned for three years and haven’t made it yet? I know, I know, it happens. Well, I decided to show you some options you can buy that might work for you. Keep in mind none of them are as large as mine are but many of them offer better organization. So that isn’t such a bad trade-off. Plus most people don’t have 360 square feet of craft studio space like I do so these options might be better suited.

1. South Shore Collection Craft Table

The first thing that I love about this is that it has two drawers. I would love drawers in mine! The middle front one is helpful for small craft supplies. You can even buy a drawer organizer to fit so it gives you different contained areas for things like stick pins, thread, and beads. I also love how they utilized the space with the side shelves and that awesome slotted area for scrapbook paper. This one measures 53 1/4” wide by 30” tall and 23 1/2” deep. The current price is $269.99 for the white one, but they also carry it in black and a natural maple color.

2. Sauder Sewing Craft Cart

Now this table definitely is made more for the seamstress but it is on wheels. That is fabulous and definitely can help if you are short on space and need to move the sewing craft cart when it is not in use. They definitely could have added more shelves on the inside but it is nice for things that are better stored up like markers, and paint. The current Amazon price is only $153. It measures 40.1″ x 28.5 x 19 1/4″ but it is 62 1/4″ when completely open. That gives a nice spot for a large cutting mat.

3. South Shore Artwork Craft Table with Storage

What I immediately noticed about this one is that it has hidden storage. I am a big fan of hiding my craft supplies. Hence the reason for my massive storage wall I built. However, it still has the horizontal shelves for scrapbook paper. This definitely looks more like a craft desk so it might even be a good fit for a home office/craft room. The current Amazon price is $309.99 and also comes in grey oak and rustic oak.

4. Giantex Folding Sewing & Craft Table

This craft table is perfect for small spaces since it folds up into a stylish cabinet making it perfect to fold away when not in use. It comes in three different finishes, white, natural, and brown and 2 different sizes depending on how much space your have. The price is right at $125 – $150. I also love the movaeable shelves and additional storage on the door which is helpful to keep supplies close at hand.

5. Venture Horizon Project Center With 2 Bookcases

This one is definitely the biggest of the craft tables I am featuring, but it also has the biggest price tag of $599.95. It does have 9 cubbies on each side which is really nice for a ton of storage. Is also has 15 square feet of table top space which is pretty big. This is also countertop height, which is awesome to use for crafts but not so great for sewing. So if you sew alot, this probably isn’t the best option for you.

6. Sauder Harbor View Craft Armoire

I really love this craft table armoire. It can be completely shut and look like a TV armoire or it can be pulled out halfway for a sewing area. It can even covert even further out and make a really nice work surface. It has ample storage but can be closed when not in use.

7. South Shore Sewing Craft Table on Wheels

This one is definitely geared more toward the seamstress as well. It has a roll out thread storage as well as a roll out sewing machine storage but it looks very much like a desk. Plus the entire thing is on wheels which is always a plus in my book. It also contains 3 others drawers to store more supplies. The current price is $269.99 on Amazon.

8. South Shore Annexe Craft Table and Storage Unit

This definitely isn’t my favorite option but the price at $212 is right so that is why I am including it. It doesn’t contain any drawers but it does have cubbies that you can use to store craft supplies and underneath the table you can store magazines or craft books. The biggest pro for this piece is that it is so versatile and can be used in an office or kids’ room for a desk area down the road if you upgrade.

9. Folding Craft Table

Maybe you pinned my craft table for the future because you are short on space, possibly an apartment dweller. However, every crafter needs a space to create, even if it is small. This small table folds up so it can literally be put on any wall. Again this is a great option to use for now and then put in a child’s room for a desk or add to a kitchen wall for a laptop workspace. Plus it comes in at only $121.90 (current amazon price).

10. South Shore Counter-Height Craft Table with Storage

This one is pretty much like #1 except it is countertop height giving more room for tall storage like wrapping paper. It also has some dowel rods to hang ribbon on as well as one middle drawer and cubby space. It also includes 4 gray storage baskets (2 medium size and 2 large ones) which is really a nice added bonus. It measures 53.2 x 34 x 26.8 inches and the current Amazon price is $349.99

I think of these 10 tables one of them could probably fit your space and craft needs perfectly. While assembly is required, it is nothing like the time spent actually building one from scratch.
