Has anybody designed a control panel so you can fit chairs under it?

Minwah:
My barstools are adjustable so I can get my legs under the CP if I want. Bigger problem for me is reaching the coin slot!
Ginsu Victim:
My control panel doesn't stick out at all, so I can't get under it in any way. Luckily the reach isn't too bad, but I've been working on a CP redesign.
Ummon:
You could redesign it. Or you could put a panel over the space. Or you could make it a cubby for drinks and stuff.

My local arcade has a dual "Lindburgh" cabinet designed for sitting down with your legs underneath the CP.  Works well, but if you *wanted* to stand and use it, you couldn't.
Turnarcades:
I designed most of the Turnarcades line-up with the standing/sitting versatility in mind. The 'Master' was modelled on the generic 2-player cabinets that graced so many arcades I went to growing up. Having the shallower control panel than the amerian-styled machines allows for a sturdy and aesthetically pleasing overhang that means you can stand closer to the machine without stubbing your toes, or sit on a bar-stool with your knees under the panel, meaning you arch your back less. Even the 'Mini' cabinet was designed with the cp height set so you could sit in a regular chair to play it.
