That seems pretty opinionated design, I am surprised so many people wanted it.<p>The fan&#x2F;light combo is neat. Steel work surface with magnetic holders sounds like a great idea. But the rest of items do not make it a &quot;portable workspace&quot;.<p>Why usb-c cable but no charger? I either use dedicated module (so I need charger) or my laptop&#x27;s power brick (so I don&#x27;t need cable).<p>Where is solder sucker? copper wick is just not the same.<p>What about other tools? I&#x27;d expect to see at least small set of screwdrivers &#x2F; pliers.<p>What about spare parts box? With all that free space, I&#x27;d like to at least have my small coil of wire there.<p>(Also, the AI-generated images of workbenches are so cringe..)
