    Ok. My husband didn't want to cut into the desk. I found a sewing table for $5 so we brought it home. I removed the screws from the hinges that holds that table top. I didn't want a hole in the...

    Hmmm.. maybe I could find or make a small table (or shelf....) that is in the front and then just build up around the machine to make it flush with the desk top. I can see this as a total...

    Cleaning out the drawer would work, but I'm not sure it's a good long-term plan. I think the weight would eventually bend the tracks it's on.
    The desk doesn't have "legs", they are like walls. ...

    No, the one in the middle. The big one just under the lamps. It's a terrible picture, I know. I tried to add another picture, but it's too big.
