You can prob find a desk at a thrift shop--the knee control can be mounted inside the knee space...it's made a perfect sewing table for me! The Elna is now in a closet, and my DH filled the hole with plywood so I could set my big emb/sew machine on the space. As I recall (way back then) the man charged me under $50!
