Some of them are not different at all. You’ll find plenty of online stores selling regular office tables as sewing tables. These are often sold at a premium, so you need to be careful when shopping. And I’m sure it doesn’t help that there is no universally agreed standard for what counts as a sewing table.

Generally, however, sewing tables will offer increased durability, storage space, height adjustment options, and more. All tools to make the life of a sewer easier and more comfortable. Some sewing tables also double as collapsible sewing cabinets, as can be seen on Sewing Tables By Sara. These designs allow your workstation to take up very little space when it is not in use, while also expanding to a generous footprint when you want to get work done.

In other words, a good sewing table can serve as both a workstation and a toolbox. And if you’ve spent some time working on your craft, you know how satisfying it is to have all of your tools and materials organized and within arm’s reach while working.
