If you’re worried you can just ask the hotel/hosts 😊👍

    I've built one of these, also using a LACK table. For those interested, I was able to just screw on the Metro Kotatsu heater you can get on Amazon in the US with angle brackets. After about a year of use, I noticed one of the legs of the table seemed to be breaking off. I believe this is caused by removing the lower shelf (which we need as a kotatsu topper) which helped give the legs strength. I've added angle brackets to the two interior sides of each leg which seems to be helping. I'm curious to know if you had a similar issue and if you were able to fix it. If it eventually breaks and I'm forced to buy another LACK, I will use the topper of the old one and attach it as the intended shelf but much higher up (maybe 3 inches below the table). Hopefully this will help give it more strength.

    • @brinagoesjapan
      @brinagoesjapan 4 місяці тому

      Hello, happy to hear you also built yourself a kotatsu 😄💜 Nope, never had issues with the legs of my kotatsu, it’s still working perfectly fine. I’d be careful about attaching the lower shelf. I don’t know your heater but I don’t think it would be safe to attach anything underneath it - please be careful!

    • @Meta_Sheep
      @Meta_Sheep 4 місяці тому

      @@brinagoesjapan I would just reattach the heater to the bottom of the shelf, not putting the shelf beneath the heater. I suspect if you're putting your table on tatami or something, when you push it it slides. We have ours at full height on a carpet, so when pressure is applied to the table the top moves, but the legs don't which is putting horizontal stress on the attach points.

    I think a good way to somewhat secure the topplate would be strong magnets. If you experiment with the strength and amount of magnets I'm sure you'll find a nice fit between holding it secure and barely being able to ever get it off again.

    • @brinagoesjapan
      @brinagoesjapan 9 місяців тому

      Haha yeah maybe. Though I honestly haven’t had lots of issues with it. I’m just generally a bit careful standing up from the table but I think that would always be the case as it’s low and I don’t want to tip it over. Magnets would stand out on the top and if they’re strong ones they might pull magnetic things towards them 😄 but in the end it really is personal preference. Magnets are always fun to use in DIY 💜🎉

      Thank you for your question 😊💜 I haven’t used this function so far but I think what it does is just using not as much water as the other modes but as far as I know it does not dry your clothes 🤔 There might be other machines that do have a dry function but usually there are either separate dryers or you might have to dry your clothes in your bathroom. For this I’ve made another video recently, feel free to check it out - all the best for your Japan trip 😄🙌
