hi folks,

after long and fierce negotiations with the better half i have obtained carte blanche to repurpose half of our livingroom into a gaming-den  ;D
so now i have an area of roughly 3,5 meters by 3 meters to build my sanctuary on.
i got my CRT TV setup sorted, a big B&O MX7000, and i am working on a table with a sliding drawer under the tabletop that will house my 4 most used consoles, all hooked up to a Bandridge 5 to 1 scart switch.
so that is all taken care of.
now i need to consider the seating, and i think i can host 3 or 4 people in there, whereby preferably 2 people can be seated next to eachother in front of the consoles and tv, and one or two spectators can sit at a slight angle from this setup.

so what would be smart in terms of furniture?
4 beanbags, one couch and 2 bean bags, gaming chairs?
i am curious about your opinions and experience with these, because i only played games from the relative comfort of couches.
let me know what you think would be a good solution.
thanks in advance for your input.
