My computer desk is 6 feet long. My sewing counter is a corner unit that is 6 foot on one edge and 8 feet on the longer edge.
After I priced what new desk height cabinets would cost, I scoured Goodwill and Salvation Army stores for used desks. Making two counters, I was prepared to not have the under cabinets match using used furniture. My luck changed when I found a yard sale that had four matching used motel desks for $20 each. These desks had a set of drawers on one end and legs on the other end. Although I could utilize the legs for supporting the counter top, I know my storage needs always exceed my storage space and bought all four to have four sets of drawers.
My computer desk will meet most sewing machine needs. It required two drawer units, a six foot counter top, and three strong L brackets.
