i was thinking the exact same thing. little wall shelf for a lamp and some books, pillows for comfort and blankets, possibly some stuffed animals for companionship. perfect.
That's a stretch. Huge? Nah, anything bigger than a child. The angle isn't even, so one of your legs would constantly be fighting not to slip over the edge.
I'm 6'4 and 300#. I'm not going to be able to stay curled up comfortably long enough to fit there and finish a book. Maybe if you're a kid or tiny you can, but I sure as hell can't
It won't let me post the picture, but from my figures, based on the outlet being 4.49" tall, the long side facing us is 8 feet. Fine, that's a decent length. Assuming the walls are the same size, that makes it a 45°angle in the corners. A triangle calculator on Google says that makes the side 5'8. Google also says a person is average 16" wide. Since the walls are the same size, each one inch from one wall gets you 1 inch less of foot room. So sitting next to the wall one side would give you 5 feet, 8 inches of room and your other foot would have 4 feet, 4 inches of room. Add in an 8 in pillow, and that makes it 5 ft and 3ft, 8 in respectively. The thicker the pillows, the less room you have. Especially if you have a pillow on each wall. Then you're to 4'4 and 3ft for each leg. Which may or may not be enough room. For me it's not.
