That looks nice, and very useful.

But what came to mind as I recalled the Begonia "nook" was how nice and useful it would be if base cabinets were installed all around the three-sided nook, with a desk knee-opening right in the middle. The light coming thru the windows wouldn't be too great for viewing the computer monitor screen, but the view sitting there paying the bills and opening mail would be fantastic. If one didn't go overboard with the countertop material, it might be doable at a reasonable cost. I had a smaller unit with three base cabinets and a two-walled custom made desktop installed in the laundry room of a Lantana by Bailey. We use it all the time.
