Not to quibble, but it appears to me that the machine is mounted correctly; the cut in the top that you lift for lowering the machine into the cabinet is in front, the top opens in the proper direction and the hinge is visible behind the machine. That's why I suggested that the top might be turned around.
OR - it could be that extremely rare drawerless Singer cabinet that is selling on eBay for thousands! [facetious]
