Situation: I am sitting and working at a desktop. There are a few more on my right but no more on my left.
Alternative situations: I am typing on a keyboard by desk in the top left corner of the room as I stare at the blank monitor in front of me. I am in a chair working on the leftmost monitor in front of me with four more monitors to my right.
Question: Which is closer to my position the couch or the coffee table?
