It hides the plumbing perfectly and also fits a brute garbage can perfectly for auto top off. This all faces into the room and right at the TV. The only thing I don't like is that there is no room to put your feet under the table but the stools I have already have foot rests. Plus I doubt it will actually get used all that much

Put in some more baffles, have the refugium seperate, have a big skimmer section, have the return in the middle. Have the drain go into both the skimmer section and refugium...then drain to the middle for return.
Here is a link to, I think, a nice design.
