This is so wonderful! SO well designed and for such a fun occasion.

In reply to, SASHA2. I'm not sure where you think most AT readers are from, but coming from a large city (New York), where space is limited in most apartments you'd be surprised at how this forces you to change your behavior and perception of furniture. To you, these lowered coffee tables might pose a problem- however, when you put a little creativity and thought in it to addressing the back issues (pillows, perhaps, that can support your back if you position the table near a wall)- I am sure you'd be able to find some sort of solution. I agree with most commenters that this wouldn't be the ideal desk- but I think the author was referring to this as one solution is you don't have space for a desk. And as others have pointed out-it's not uncommon and they've been working like this.

The tone of your post reminds me that those who don't live in largely populated cities in the US can't seem to get away from the notion that "America is bigger and better", but your post also made me laugh to think that you would think that these desks were made for the office environment. ;) I completely agree with you- most workplaces in the US or Japan probably would not be using these desks in an office environment. Socialized or not, I think most offices (not referring to "home offices") probably have regular desks. Funny thought though! Thanks for sharing.
