In 1956, my friend built a desk for my new 301. It looks like a desk. The top has a lift out door to put the machine in at table top level. I love that. The sewing surface is very large: desk size large, and was very instrumental in helping me love sewing. The foot petal is mounted under the desk with a knee lever. There are four drawers on each side, just like a desk, but on the right side, two of the drawers are one double deep drawer. When you open it, it has only one side. I can slide the machine into that drawer when I want to. There is a center drawer, also, for thread and sewing notions.
Right now the machine is in the drawer, the top is in place, and my computer is placed over that. I have found that I can put my machine on top and still use the computer. I can see most of the monitor, but for a while I had that up on a pedestal. I just used a few 2X's to lift it up. Covered that with fabric and it looked great and worked great.
