This helped me create a heated table for my apartment!
I'm an ice cube living in a co-op where the heat is dictated more by the whims of a vindictive super than by state legal requirements. As such, I really wanted a cute little kotatsu like this (https://www.amazon.com/YAMAZEN-ESK-751-Casual-Kotatsu-Japanese/dp/B00F2C31AM) to keep my feet toasty for the winter! In case you're not familiar, heated tables are a seasonal staple all over Asia (and maybe other parts of the world?), where entire families will gather round and enjoy snacks and TV while enjoying the sweet sweet warmth of a little heater cranking away at the underside of a tabletop.<br /><br />Unfortunately, these babies run $150+ without the fitted comforter (an additional $150) and I don't trust myself to install a tiny $50 space heater to the bottom of my (pretty low, pretty cheap) coffee table without creating some sort of long term fire hazard or at least burning my lap. Combining this heating pad with things I already had at home meant my cold, frostbitten soul could be revived with a deliciously warm-footed cup of cocoa on a Sunday morning without doing any drilling / spending more than $40! This thing is a lifesaver.
