I can see the boat. That is a vehicle too. Some priorities are not set by money. The people that baffle me though, are the one's that have just plain old junk piled in their garage while $150K worth of vehicles, boats, etc. live outside. Walked by a house yesterday that had the garage open. It was piled up and on top of the pile was a medium sized TUBE TV. Just in case I suppose.

That room is cleaner than any room in my house. Not joking.

I bought a cheap single wide once to live in for a few years while building my house directly behind the trailer. It was a 48x12 I think. Looked funny with a 70k dollar Denali (that was dang near as big) and 3 or 4 mustangs and classics setting beside it.
No joke..I have three kids. Usually at home all the time now with school being an on and off affair now due to covid... youngest is 3 but no daycare now..... Ive threatened abandoning my new house and just building another as it would be cheaper and easier than keeping up mine with 3 kids there all day. Ive seen things id have thought impossible since the pandemic started. But when I try to find out who the genius was.... nobody did it. The 3 year old is hell on wheels. Far worse than the other 2 were
My mom would always complain about old trucks/ cars/engines/busses/ tractors..... we piled in the barns. She would always say we needed to haul off junk and clean out this barn or that barn. Dad would always say it's cheaper and easier to just build more barns. Lol
I have many barn. Lol

Sometimes I think I need a bigger bench, then I realize it would be just as cluttered. Then I think about making more shelves so I don't have crap stuffed in boxes on the floor under the bench, but then I realize I'd still have boxes, it would just be different crap. Some might actually make their way to the new shelves, but there's always gonna be a box or two I need at, on, above or below the bench.
Status quo it is...

Yeah, but at least you have a recliner in your loading room. I think if I had a recliner in there they'd never get me out again. I'm already thinking of mounting a TV on the wall so I can watch some reloading videos when I'm not reloading.

I learned my lesson about having a TV in the gun room. Had to take down 24 rounds because I couldn't remember when the scale had changed, because I was watching TV. I have my old phone and a Bluetooth speaker, and I put albums on You Tube and listen. I also have an old under cabinet radio sitting on top of a file cabinet.

I lost my can of sizing wax, the big one! The small quarter size one is right where I keep it but is now almost out. Finally broke down and bought a new can hornady wax, we will see how it does. BTW, I know that the day the new wax shows up the big can will be found.
I believe in silence when I am working at the bench. Anything distracting is not a good thing. Very limited alcohol too. Diet coke is fine.

Are your benches old pianos?!?!?! What a cool idea.
Like Dirty Harry said, "a man got's to know his limitations."
I do have a television and an iPod music device in my reloading room. From years of working with various projects connected to reloading and other hobbies, I've learned to ignore the television when other things are important.
Not everyone can multi task or tune out un-important audio inputs. They need to understand their limitations.
For me, I like the background noise. But for many, they cannot separate the background noise from the foreground noise and they need to reduce outside interference to their reloading process.
P.S. I like watching Formula One racing. I settle in my easy chair, snuggle with my Whippet, and watch the race without any interruption. My priority is watching the race, I have no intentions of reloading when Formula One is on the television.
Yes they are. Pianos were free. Total investment is paint and led light strips. And they are built like tanks. Probably 350-400lbs each. But they’re still mobile.
