Yeah, remove the motorized part and it's a nice idea. I like multipurpose furniture and rooms. But the maintenance overhead is too much, unless you really, really need to save those 1-3 minutes on switching from bedroom to office...

Agreed - I've seen other demo videos of similar furniture that can be converted by just one person - a smaller build female person to boot. IMO engineering something with clever cantilevers so that pre teen kids etc. can manipulate them is far preferable to an electronic motor having to do it.

(PS: Don't know if it is just my boarding house training from 30 years ago kicking in, but I was horrified to see the girl in the video didn't make the bed before the hid it underneath the main structure!) :)

I'm sure it'll have a mechanical override. The motorized part is just a luxury that can help move things into preferred positions more precisely. Imagine integrating this with the Amazon Echo as well.
