Hey, have this table board here with yunzi stones.

However, I would like to sit down on the ground and play, when I move into my new apartment. I prefer a coffee table, but I don't know how tall I should get to simulate a real floor board.

The other option is to buy a cherry floor board I found only which is a hundred something.

I think I study area would make me be more consistent in studying go.

Buy a small coffee table. You can probably find one real cheap at a garage sale. If the table is too high cut the legs. How high the table ends up depends on what you are comfortable with I say. That's what I did. It worked great. Much cheaper than a floor goban too.

The legs of Japanese floor boards are only about five or six inches long so if you try to make the table that high off the floor you won't be able to put your legs under it.
