Likewise, I got that table on a similar deal several years ago. As Edie mentioned, the drawers are close to useless. I made a table topper from foam insulation board in which the machine fits, giving me a smooth surface on which to work. Another addition was an ironing pad for the right hand swing out, with hanging pockets. It fits on the swing out like a glove. Even though this is my "guest room", I've never felt a need to close the unit. I fold down the cutting table, and open the futon. They can like it or leave. Getting a pic was difficult - I couldn't back up far enough. The table is in front of the window, but because of the floor to ceiling shelves of fabric, the curtains stay closed most of the time.
