However it can be used in several ways. Position no 1 is the normal way. Two chairs with about 50 cm empty place between them. Position no 2: Two chairs with about 20 cm free space between them, connected with two trays. Arm rests has moved to same sides. Now left hand person sits on the right side and he has a place where he could easily put his coffee cup, and right hand person sits on the left side.
