my wife is sleeping (she is in the floor philosophy camp with us as well) and we sleep in i guess what you would call half of our room that serves as our bedroom/dining room/living room. Thus no picture taking is possible at the moment. but the table basically looks like this, minus the metals things underneath :
https://ii.worldmarket.com/fcgi-bin/iip ... 0&cvt=jpegfor scale and perspective, image this table coming up to only about your waist when sitting on the floor. your legs fit under it when cross legged with a bit of extra room. If you are living a floor life, this will become the most used piece of furniture you will have. If you are poor, or simply want to just save money, if you can come across or find a cheap old solid wood door or similar flat wood structure that is thick and solid, you can just simply sand it and put cinder blocks underneath stacked to the hight that you want it. another is just to find an old strong table that fits the size you want and saw the legs down on it to fit your needs. in the studio outside, we have an old 6 foot by 3 foot or so solid wood plank door that we did this to and we use it all the time. it is heavy enough that it doesn't move around. In the past i have sawed down old medium sized tables too from dumpsters and things. Just use what you have around you.
we have normal tables outside to work on in the studio too. i also have a normal sized table in my small studio inside our small home that i use for music and visual art stuff. but that is about it for my uses of regular sized tables. basically just for work. and even then we work on the floor probably just as much as the tables.
rugs are good. hardwood floors are great. tile floors are nice and cool in my climate, and easiest to clean. but like you said, rugs are needed if you have a lot of things on the ground. that our shelves. we stack stuff on the ground and books are for shelves
