(+) Yeah! (+)

It do be like this sometimes:

Me: Ok, so we have this chair. It's purpose is to be sat on. It has 4 legs.
Client: Ok, but we would like the chair to have a desk.
Me: Well we have a desk for that. This is a chair, it's purpose is to be sat on
Client: What about when we want somewhere to work on?
Me: Well we have a desk for that.
Client: The problem is, we are used to using an all in one desk and chair. So you can sit down and work at the same time.
Me: Well we have both, and they fit together seamlessly. Also because they are not part of one unit you can replace the desk or the chair later, or make some modifications to it. Functionally right now it meets exactly what you are used to, and then some.
Client: Ok brilliant. Can we then replace the desk with a chair-desk unit? Also can we have the chair that detaches from the desk, and has arm rests? Also can the desk be like chair? The chair needs to have 6 legs, in case we don't like the first 4 legs. Also can the desk be removable in case you just want a chair? One other thing, you haven't mentioned the portable toilet, I assume that's just not visible right now?
