I would push back gently on the table part. I would love to see a follow-up after 2 weeks.

The context helps. Without it I would have assumed the opposite. I would test it for 4 days before deciding.

This depends heavily on budget, time and personality. I would love to see a follow-up after 5 weeks. This makes me want to start a weekend project.

My first thought was cost, then time, then whether I would remember to do it. I am curious whether projects still feels good next month.

Do you think this would work in a smaller place than Lisbon? The quiet part is easy to underestimate. The texture and mood are lovely.

Amazing how much difference one small change can make. The the library detail changes the whole answer.

I am saving this for the next time I overthink coworking. Honestly, the simplest version wins for me.
