I guess it depends if you want to be able to tuck it all away when you aren't using it or if you mind having the machine out all the time. My mum has a Horn cabinet that once I get organised will be mine and I can store my machine and overlocker plus books and threads etc and it all gets tucked away. This issue is what mbear said - it's a hideous looking thing haha! If I decide to use it here I will make a fabric cover for it -or else am going to paint it and decopage it or something.

While I did have them here I had them on an Ikea desk and then I have all my fabric and thread in tubs. That works well but I hate having them out all the time. My dream house will have a big huge enormous wall to wall cupboard and it will open up and VOILA it will all be stored beautifully - sort of like Patty Young's studio but all in a cupboard and it will be a hidden away oasis. A girl can dream right?
