These solutions always look slick, but in my experience, they work seamlessly only either in very modern apartments or apartments that have been re-built around such features in mind. I have yet to see a mass-viable product like this.

Love the concept, would pay $2-3k for this, would not pay $20k and a month of re-building my room to fit this in.

Yes, too expensive. People who live in $5k per month matchbox apartments in global alpha cities are not the type of people who buy luxuries.

Ask any high earner in a place like HK, central London, or Singapore.

They will wait for a cheaper Chinese copy.

At anything over 10k, you can get a perfectly good custom solution.
