I am not a fan of the couch and the tables that fold upward for use. It is comparable with sitting on a couch and eating off a television tray. To prevent dropping food in your lap, you need to sit on the forward edge of the couch. As for doing a log of typing on you computer, I personally feel, your back wouild give out. This folding table does not cover your lap but its near edge is located at the front edge of the couch. Also, the tables are a bit high for typing. I would recommend that you get creative and build a desk in which you both could sit while in a chair. As far the TM being a substitute for a small office, I think you could modify it so that working will not be as strenuous on your back, neck and legs.
As to getting out to get a drink, I find that there is nothing really solid to help pull you out and through the opening between the two tables. I have found that I need to "throw" my body forward until I can get a firm grip on the floor.
