We found that the electric outlets in our living room were not really serving our needs. They're fine for things that don't move, but not so useful for when you want to plug and unplug something.
In particular, these days we often sit on the sofa with a laptop or some other device, and when they need to be plugged in, it is awkward to access power.
I came up with the idea of building a skinny sofa table and tuck it behind the sofa. It would not be that big, but would provide a small shelf that could be useful.
However, the main idea is that it would give me a place to add some electric outlets, on the two ends of the sofa table. So we would now have some power that is handy to the sofa, while still being discretely out of view.
So in essence, I'm building a sofa table with a customized extension cord built in. You could just build a sofa table and then attach a power bar to it.
My table design is just 6" wide, and 66" long. It has an ash top, and the bottom structure is baltic birch plywood, painted black.
