Furniture of the future >> 1) cabled for power and internet access, 2) holes between seat cushions so that food crumbs fall through, and 3) off the floor by 4 to 6 inches to allow for unimpeded roomba access



I laughed, likely too hard, at this. We’ve got three kids under 6 and our current living room furniture does in fact allow crumbs to fall through and I was praising them just yesterday for that accidental function.

They’re a pretty nice leather love seat and couch we purchased new about 8 years ago. The leather has been a god send for spills and no stains, etc.

Unfortunately our roomba ALWAYS gets stuck on them. If we get one full run a week it’s a minor miracle. So on this very day I finally hit the garage, pulled out the welder and grinder and am giving my couch and loveseat a 1” lift.


Why stop there? Just go for the full Wall-E with hover-recliners for all.


I think you're on to something here...
