What do you think of this, for all of the people who had to shift to WFM on a dime?

That's a "no" for many reasons, the most significant is that the chair would be absolute misery to sit on for more than a couple of minutes. It looks like a child's chair!

It's a tiny, cramped space. The best that it would be suited for would be an early elementary school student.

It's not an idea I would embrace. I think it is unattractive and it looks cheap. I would rather have a real desk, not desk in a box.

Very clever, but not enough space for me. My monitor is too large and I like my printer on the desk. I need a big desk.

That teeny chair won't do. Mine wouldn't fit into that space. It's a large desk chair that's comfortable for one of the dogs that always wants to ly down beside me.

In theory, it sounds like a great idea but in actuality, it misses the mark. This also looks cheap and unattractive to me. I'd much rather have an actual desk sitting there with a 2 drawer filing cabinet....as long as it is kept neat and orderly.

If I lived in a very small apartment I could see this working out well.

I can see where a lot of people could take advantage of this.

I wouldn't be able to keep the space needed to open that up cleared.

Can you imagine the boss calling, having to move everything, open up the office, find what you need. Great for small spaces though.

Where did the Chair go????

Love the concept! (Not a folding storage unit, tho.) But it gives me an idea to nest my computer space between two large bookcases, and make it a cozy nook!!!!

@lolakimono It's a clever idea and wou;d depend on the amount of actual desk space needed and the size of the worker. For me it would feel like a jail without the bars. It does give one the back drop for zoom calls so thats a plus.

I like it. I'm sure the chair could be replaced but IMO it's a functional idea for small spaces offering some privacy.

I like that. I need one. LOL!!! I need a rolltop desk or an armoire type to keep mine all closed up in so I don't have to look at it. I doubt I will ever give up my desktop computer. I just don't like using my phone or even an iPad or laptop to get online. I want a big screen. I gave the laptop I bought to DH.

Very clever design. Sign me up.

My daughter could use that to keep her toddler away from her desk.

I guess it would work for someone who doesn't have a computer, printer, etc. Too small for me.

The space is ok for a child but not enough room for a laptop and reading/writing material.

Plus the chair doesn't look comfortable.

@lolakimono

It's a clever idea but it should be maybe double the size. Looks cramped as it is. They could probably add a couple needed drawers as well.
