I purchased the Kangaroo/Joey combination in hesitation of having to put it together my self. I spoke with Lynn who explained all the features and even sent me a video on the lift as that seemed the most intimidating. I purchased through Cut up and Sew in Palm Coast (if in that area, another great place with great customer service). I did take several weeks to get it in but well worth the wait. I am 57 years young and unloaded (not recommended if you have back issues) and put together the Joey II, Kangaroo II and the kiwi all by myself. Instructions were very clear and easy. It did take some time, but everything went together perfectly. Once together I did notice a bend in one of the arms of lift (was working fine). I sent a picture to inquire about it and even though I said it was working, they sent out a new one on the spot. I received it within a week and nervous about the installation (as product is already put together) Luis sent me an email with video and I replaced it with no issues. If you are questioning a possible future purchase, I can tell you it is well worth investing in a nice sewing cabinet. Thank you to Arrow, Lynn, Luis and the behind the scenes people for making this purchase a great experience! Tammy

I love my kangaroo cabinet with Joey. I just finished my first quilt on it and I was amazed at how much easier it was to sew. There pieces were precisely drilled and cut, all hardware and parts were included, and I was able to put it together myself. I am a bit of a DIY-ER but I am also a 66 year old woman. If you are not accustomed to this type of furniture and handy with power tools you should probably pay someone to put it together.

I love the cabinet and was extremely impressed with the detailed but easy to follow assembly instructions. Your customer service reps were super helpful with any questions I had. I would highly recommend this product and your company to anyone and everyone.

If I could give this cabinet ten stars, I would. From the beginning of the purchase process--a conversation with Lynn, who guided me to the cabinet that was just right for my quilting needs--to the end--receiving the custom insert that fits my machine perfectly--I have been SO impressed with the Arrow company. The Kangaroo and Joey were delivered much faster than I expected (within the week, in fact). My husband put them together for me. Other than a couple of minor glitches that were easily remedied, he had no trouble assembling them. The cabinet is made of high quality materials, extra hardware was provided (which we ended up not needing), and the instructions were very detailed with good illustrations. The cabinet fits me so well that I don't even think about maintaining good posture, because it happens naturally. I am looking forward to many years of sewing in my transformed space.

This cabinet is outstanding in every way. I breezed through the assembly, which is no small feat for a little old lady. It was such a plus having all the hardware labeled. The metal drawer runners are terrific as is the machine lift mechanism. No plastic.👏. Kudos Arrow! Well done!

Very well built. Although construction took several hours, the instructions were the best I've every seen for this type of project.

The kangaroo and Joey arrived very well packed, and was fairly easy to put together. Everything fit and everything arrived as it should. I love my new Joey and Kangaroo and I’m really excited about getting back to sewing.

I purchased Kangaroo and Joey from Tops Sewing And Vacuum in Lakewood Ranch Florida, which included set up and delivery. Love my new sewing studio! More awesome than imagined. “Pocket” Loves the golf course view and is very happy

My wife is really enjoying her new Kangaroo II and Joey cabinet. She puts the Joey to the right side and that allows her to slide her chair between her sewing machine on the right and her serger that is on the left side. She puts a small ironing board on top of the Joey and can easily sew, serge, and press seams all without having to get out of her seat. BTW, the Arrow sewing chairs (her's has the button design) are the perfect sewing chair. It supports your back higher than other chairs and angles you slightly forward which is how you sit at your machine anyway. I thought they were a high priced gimmick at first, but after the store owner had me sit in one, I was sold and so was my wife. No gimmicks. Great chair !! Don't forget that you will need to purchase an insert for your sewing machine in order to use it at table height. The insert is specific to your machine and is not included in the price of the cabinet. We had some problems with the Joey cabinet wheels which are not well designed in my opinion. They easily break out of the bottom of the cabinet (which is only particle board). Particle board is not easily repairable. I have a comment and repair suggestion on the Joey cabinet page if you are interested. We purchased our cabinet and chair from a reputable sewing center who assembled the cabinet for us. My wife is very happy to now have a versatile and efficient sewing setup.

My wife has a Kangaroo, Joey, Dingo, and Arrow sewing chair and loves them all! She finally has her own sewing space. Because of her sewing room size, the Kangaroo was great since it did not have doors or top leaves to swing out and take up space. The finish on the cabinet is very durable. She purchased two separate inserts for her two machines (definitely need to get the inserts to fill the gap around the machine). Assembly was easy, but did take a few hours. The online videos really helped!

I recently purchased a new Kangaroo Kabinet and Joey II from Country Stitches in East Lansing, MI. I am very pleased with the quality and configuration. "Pockets", the kangaroo mascot, seems to be enjoying her new view from my sewing room at our home
