What is a hooping station?

I just purchased an embroidery package and it comes with a hooping station. I know what a hoop master is.....but they said the dimensions of this hooping station are 27x31x36. So now I am confused. Could it really be that big???

The ones that I am used to seeing online look like the attached. But I don't see how it could be 27x31x36 inches???

Hooping stations CAN be big. It really depends on the machine type and its pantograh size. Small / large hooping stations are supplied with different small/large machines.
