Thanks for mentioning the lift-I'll look into that, altho I never put my machine away either.
Actually, setting the machine on top and putting the foam around may be better ergonomically than recessing it into the table. I'm tall so it is a little low for me with it recessed but not too bad. One of these days I'll have hubby make me some blocks to put under the casters and raise it up a few inches.
