"How did your DH fix this problem. I would probably need to put it in a cabinet as well."
He cut an extra board to fit around the machine, that sits on top of my regular table top. There is a spot cut out so I can reach those bottom buttons and the table top makes sure there is something underneath so little things don't fall through. He also had to cut it at an angle since the front of the machine slopes. Hard to explain, but I have issues getting pics to post. Oh, he also drilled a hole in the side of the cabinet to run the power cords through.
