21:56 Susan's question about design execution

- Rectilinear dining tables are generally more practical and easier to find than round tables, which are better suited for square dining spaces. 
- In an office, it's important to ensure that any rug near a desk fully covers the area under the desk to avoid constant movement and frustration.
- For children's shared bedrooms, bunk beds can be a great space-saving solution, but it's essential to consider the children's preferences and age before deciding.
