Yeah. The house I grew up in was built in 89 and the kitchen had this little built-in desk beside the pantry. And it really felt like a “you sit here and take a corded phone call and make notes” it was far too small to be a serious desk for work and yet it had drawers and cubbies above for documents.
In its defense it got used as a place to store school forms and sports forms and other “family administration” stuff that was too daily to belong in the office with all the taxes and financials and warranties.
- hotnfresh 3y agoYeah, the core problem with the idea is that even if you have one, it’s nearly always more pleasant and comfortable (and less in other people’s way) to sit at the kitchen table for the same clerical/homework/WFH activities, just as one would before these started being added. It fails to be better than the thing it’s trying to replace, and is less-useful (and uglier) than having more ordinary kitchen cabinets and/or counter space, which can do just as good a job of storing paperwork and calendars and such, without the misguided specific-purpose design.
