Is it somehow held to the ceiling with this puny string? Is that some electrical wire going nowhere?
I mean ... it could be usable with some security features? need to stop the weels from falling of the edge (better get a chair without weels), a proper handrail and some solid anchoring in the wall (or ceiling). There is some storage next to it, could be used when looking through that. Still requiers a solid heart to use though, I wouldn't do it.
How did that kind of space even ended up existing in the first place? Why ? So much questions ...

    My best guess is it’s a loft conversion, but rather than having just one big room they’ve partitioned off the part under the eaves for… reasons. They had to remove one of the back legs from the desk so it would fit, and made it a three legged table. The random cable is holding it up/steady. They have a wheeled chair and no safety rail because while they may work a desk job, they’re an adrenaline junkie at heart.

    Wanting to create two independent rooms so a weird corridor ends up there? Then stick an office in the way because why would you put it in one of the newly created rooms when you can have it in an unsafe, uncomfortable akward space. One where you cannot work properly because you get the sound from downstairs or smells if it's a kitchen. And annoy everyone else if you are in a call, because they need to be quiet and enjoy whatever you are discussing. Most best decision ever.
