I removed the shelves and put my embroidery unit inside instead. I also purchased 2 elements drawer units and am putting wooden bases in the drawers with dowels for my thread. Then I can chop and change in the future. I My Stabiliser rolls and other notions will fit too. The only downside was the 3mm difference in height, but that has been overcome by putting a piece of old shelving under the base of both drawer units making them all match beautifully. I even have 2 cutting mats which fit on top perfectly, so I am a very happy bunny.

Brilliant news… chuffed that your ‘mix and match’ worked so well! Thanks for leaving this lovely review.
Firstly it’s a very well made storage unit however, it doesn’t fit alongside all your other sewing desks as it’s 1cm too tall. The castors are not the same as the Super Q which, I have just purchased from you. I wanted this Five draw unit to fit alongside and I was assured it could be adjusted via the castors to do just that….but it doesn’t as there’s not enough thread on the Super Q castors to raise that table and you cannot reduce the height on the storage cube. I did do my due diligence prior to ordering and looked at all specifications that’s why I mentioned it when ordering by telephone. Now I have a unit of £800+ that I cannot use properly!

Thank you for your feedback. Apologies for the information that you were given when you originally ordered the modular 5 drawer chest, we were unaware of such a difference in height between the two units but going forward will certainly make prospective customers aware of this difference now. For anyone looking at this unit we must say that it is made to match in primarily with the 860 Electric sewing cabinet and modular overlocker unit and as you see here not ideal to be used alongside other cabinets in our range due to the difference in height.
The Super Q is a lovely sewing table. It’s very well made and spacious I bought mine in white. Love the riser for the machine it’s very easy to use and one of my two Perspex covers fitted well. Opening up the back part of the table is very stable and gives me more fabric space. Unfortunately as with another of my reviews for the five draw storage unit I found they are not compatible which, has disappointed me immensely. There is a difference in height which cannot be altered.
I ordered the above table direct from Horn. I received it within 2 weeks of ordering. Communication between me and the company was excellent as was Jeff who delivered to me. He took his time to make sure everything was perfect for my own sewing machine before he left.
I’ve now had a chance to use it and I’m so happy. With the machine at the lower level with the made to measure infil i find my shoulders are relaxed and not up round my ears and I’m looking down onto my stitching rather than looking up which is tricky with variofocal glasses. Also I can move it myself on my carpet even though I’m not too young!
Thank you to all for your brilliant product and service. X
I absolutely love my cabinet. Everything is close to hand and so easy to open out and then put away. Jeff delivered it for me and took it upstairs. He unpacked it and put the casters on etc. He was great. He rang me to let me know he was on his way and showed me what to do and put my machine in place for me. Fantastic company. Fantastic product. Thank you
