Technology & Tables

So...it's a cold winter night, you don't feel like going out anywhere, so you intive over some friends. Instead of your guest sitting on the floor, have them sit at a table!

...but not just "any" table... A Kotatsu table!!!

What is it?
How does it deal with technology?

I'm going to tell you...Now! (I am the best internet-sale person lol)

A Kotatsu table is a  low Japanese style table with a heavy blanket. Back in the "old days" Japan used burning charcoal under the table so people could stay warm. These days, with technology advancements, electric heaters are built onto the tables.

(Top=New & Bottom=old)
 
With this simple piece of technology (the heater) the Kotatsu now has a "modern twist" to a old piece of furnture.
