[[7.] Chinese Altar: Suspended Altar Table]

Dear FS Expert,
Thanks for your prompt reply.
Would also like to check if it is acceptable to build cabinets over the space above the altar table?

Dear FS Expert,

Understand that the height for altar table is 49 3/4 inches.
Can I check if there is any specific width for an altar table?

Dear FS Expert,
Due to space constraint, I was thinking of constructing a suspended altar table so I can place a glass study desk below for normal writing use or to place the offerings when needed.
Would like to check if it is advisable to have a suspended altar Table?
Also, may I know the height for altar table?

[Feng Shui on Altar Table Setting]

Hi Sir,
Attached is a copy of our new house living room layout. Is it advisable to place the Altar table infront of the dining table?
If not, would appreciate if you could provide some advice on how we should relocate the dining table and shelf in the living room to best suit the Altar Table.
Thank You.
Serene.
