As a matter of fact that's what the boxes are for. I had just finished quilting a couple of quilts. My acrylic table is almost exactly the same height as Artbin project boxes so I usually surround my machine table with them but the cigar boxes are great for small spaces when I'm too lazy to move everything. My table is tight against the wall so I don't have to worry about anything falling.
