I have 2 Singer machines, 2662 portable and a 401 Slant-O-Matic. The 401 is recessed in the desk cabinet. Actually, it's in position to sew. I have my 2662 on a 6' folding table. The 401 butts up against the table. I have recessed the 401 to use the 2662 in the past. If you know of someone who is pretty handy, you may want to check out the thrift stores for executive size desks to cut an insert for you. It will depend on your budget and space. So take measurements with you. Good Luck and show us photos when you get set up.
