Hi, Esq, I have just seen pics of your lovely Horn cabinet - mine is really similar to yours. The only difference I can see is that mine has two drawers on the right hand side at the bottom, whereas yours has one drawer at the top. I can still store my overlocker in the space, and no, I don't close mine up either. On my left hand side, I have my sewezi table with my older 1260 machine set up, so I sit in the middle of a U shape, and swivel! Enjoy your new cabinet. Once you have got used to your machine being level with the table you will never want to go back.
