Moved the coffee table onto the balcony, as suggested.
It's perfect out here, I love it.
I knew my next apartment had to have a balcony, after not having one in the previous place.
But I was a little worried it would be like the swimming pool I had in the previous place; I thought I had to have a pool, & then used it twice in 6 months.
This balcony is way more important to my happiness. I'm out here every day, and I can grow plants that thrive (because it's north-facing).
