  • Computer in the living room space?

    OK. I figure a large number of my fellow designers have encountered this same scenario, so please respond. Right now, we keep our notebook computer on the corner of our coffee table in the center of our living room, accessing our home wireless network, and allowing the user to see the TV and multitask their little heart out. (Yay, IMDB!)

    That said, sitting on the edge of the couch (or worse, the floor) is getting old fast. Of course, I could get a true desk, but I don’t want it to face the wall or corner, and I don’t want it to turn the decor of my living room into a dentist’s office reception area.

    I’m looking for a handsome (yet unobtrusive and functional) rolling workstation, preferably with a shelf/drawer or two. I’ve checked out https://www.anthro.com and (of course) https://www.ikea.com – but their offerings look pretty utilitarian, don’t they? Any other ideas?

    –Michael.

    And you can keep your wine nearby! Brilliant!

    Why not get one custom made from a joinery or cabinetmaker. Might cost a bit more but you will get exactly what you want.
