I like having a desk in my hotel room. A sofa or easy chair would work, but I dislike working in bed. I hope we're given some options.

I love the idea of better storage space, but I'm not ready to put my legs in the overhead! I'm sure this design would work well with 40" pitch, but not with 30-32" as we mostly get. But perhaps if they made the bins about half the depth shown in the design, there might be footroom and storage.
