      Maybe with your back, you young whipper-snapper. Every time I sit on the floor, I’m concerned it’ll be a one way trip

      Yeah, agree. Tables can be used standing or while sitting in the floor. Chairs are nice, but without tables a lot of stuff would happen at floor level anyway.

      Definitely easier to get by without chairs.

    I’ll get rid of chairs. Ottomans, which are not chairs, would be arranged around the tables for some reason. My ottomans have a vertical panel for a foot rest. It’s definitely a foot rest and not a chair, though. Chairs were banned.

    I think chairs and tables are insufficiently different - people would end up using one as a substitute for the other. I think a more interesting question would be what if you were required to magically eliminate all perfectly level planes (tables, chairs, beds), or eliminate all slanted planes (ramps, screws, lazy boys)

    You can use a chair as a table, but can’t comfortably sit on most tables. QED, fuck off tables.
