Default Seeking Advice on Sewing Cabinet

I's like some advice on what sewing cabinets to look for. I want something that my Bernina can sit in flush with the surface and have as much room as possible (within reasonable $$$) to quilt. I may not do full sized quilts, but my attempt to quilt my Lil Twister Valentine Heart wallhanging has been quite frustrating. I used iron on batting for the first time I felt it may it stiffer than what I'm used to. I rolled the sides with bicycle clips but I still didn't have the ease I needed. Even with needle down, every time I adjusted, you could tell. I have an extended bed for my machine, but the clips got caught on the edge and that made a mess. After two borders, I stopped and ripped it all out. I need a better sewing surface. Currently I am using a hollow core door that has drawers added with pipe legs that are the correct height for sewing. I am open to recommendations as I start my quest. Thanks much!
