Lamp-heated kotatsus? Really?

Look on ebay. It may be a slightly pricier rig, but if you're lucky, you'll be able to find a heater that's designed for kotatsus for about 100 bucks. If you're smart about your kotatsu design, you can construct the rest of it for about 25$ extra . . . compare this with the retail price of kotatsus (700-900$, plus the cost to import), and this is still an astronomical savings.

I've used a kotatsu made from the Ikea Lack, and it's certainly large enough for a single person to use. If you're like me though, and you prefer to gather with groups of friends, you might want something a bit larger. Consider purchasing and re-purposing a used table from the classifieds to seat 5-6. Duvets can also be bought second-hand. Any additional materials required can likely be salvaged from local woodworking/furniture repair operations.

I'm considering building one with hinged surface panels covering 4-inch-deep storage trays; let us know how your efforts go, and good luck!!!
