Tangent: Do those things keep your upper body warm?

"Sup /jp/" or similar outsider greeting.

>>1829819
Yeah, you just need to wear a hanten, warm air creeps up and warms your upper body.

>>1829819
Not really but you can if you just go under the table and stick your head out.

buy an electric blanket

>>1829828

Sup bro whats with all the brobation?

>>1829814
buy table from ikea
buy bare table top or make one
buy blanket from target
buy small electric / gas heater from walmart

combine the lot.
hey presto, you have that table.
no need to be completely weeaboo about it. no one is gonna care if its '100% real japanese from japan!!! OMFG" but you

>>1829828
Oh ZUN, you're so lovable with all that hate.

question, do people usually have their legs straight under the table or are people kneeled under the kotatsu?

>>1830510
if theres no one else, straight out.
kneeling is formal and for old people.
usually, i had my legs crossed under it, but most people i knew had their legs bent to the side. kind of like : ^^O whereas ^^ are the legs and O is the body

but its a matter of personal comfort

I have one without a heater

And the final product would look like shit and probably last about as long.

Jabba Hutt at his kotatsu.

>>1830476
He will probably care when that shit sets his fucking house on fire though.

If you have centeral heating why would you want one?

Seriously; people use these because Japan is fucking cold. (They haven't figured out how insulation works yet.)

Just get a fucking heater jesus christ.

>>1830666

To reduce your heating costs.

something I've always wondered... how bad do they smell under there?

I mean it probably smells a good bit like fart, plus the smell of warm feet, penises and vaginas. in that small, trapped space.

>>1830666

No central heating here. Hell, can't even fit a kotatsu since I don't have the room for it.

On a related not. Hanten. Where to buy from? Quality? Expected price? Non-weeaboo patterns?

Do you come from upside-down Ching Chong Island with no heating? If you're cold put on a sweater, I'm pretty sure you don't live in the arctic you ass-munching hypocrites.

>>1830510
I usually cross my legs.

>>1829814
Get a hanten, they're warm!

No back support. Ow.

>>1830560

Isn't it uncomfortable to sit like that? Or even kneeling?

>>1831483
You get used to it. I used to use my computer like that.
However that got pretty annoying, as I'm pretty much here every waking moment. You wouldn't be sitting at a kotatsu as long, though.

>>1831483
its hard to tell by the image, but you put your legs out to the side, and you tilt your body slightly in the other direction.so your ass is the base of the weight.

if you're sitting on the floor, its quiet as comfortable as cross legged.try it sometime
