You're right, I tend to not include cabinets and bookshelves in my mental model of furniture, just elevated objects people sit/rest on/at.
Though one can argue even those forms of furniture are problematic, using vertical storage space more efficiently can encourage hoarding of unnecessary junk. I'm certainly guilty of hoarding books I rarely touch, but it doesn't seem as harmful to one's health/fitness.
- magduf 7y agoWithout furniture, how exactly do you propose that I use a computer workstation with 3 large monitors? Sit it all on the floor? That sounds like an ergonomics nightmare. Some of the furniture we have now is because pre-technological humans simply didn't do many things we do now.
- jolmg 7y agoYeah, saying no furniture kind of distracts from their point, which is that not getting frequently up and down from the floor probably causes our loss to easily do so as we get older. As to being able to have a computer workstation that lets you work as you're sitting on the floor, the japanese seem to have many options[1]. I imagine newnewpdro is not against furniture like this. You can have good posture while sitting on the floor, too.
