After all the furniture is placed, that may be the only one available for vacuuming.
210.52(A)(2)(1) is pretty exacting.
Celtic that is the theory....good answer. I was late.

What!?! Does she want floor outlets in front of the kitchen cabinets too?360Youth said:The inspector seemed to be under the assumption that the doors to the permanently installed entertainment center are considered wall space and therfore required outlets in the floor, within 18", since they obviously could not go in the doors, and behind the doors in the back of the cabinet for electronics did not meet the requirement, nor did the recept I had installed above the countertops of the entertainment center at 44" AFF

Many of the tract homes built out here just have an alcove for the entertainment center so it's not usually a problem.

j_erickson said:There was a fairly long thread regarding bookcases about a year ago. I took the position that a bookshelf qualifies as wall space. For example if a room was lined all 4 walls with bookshelves, receptacles would still be required. Built in entertainment center might be very similar. A lot of guys disagreed with my stance.
allenwayne said:I was in on that thread, I did a huge custom that had a high line library, All floor to ceiling book cases built in the room.There was one floor receptacle for the desk and that was it.Since no actual wall space existed there were no actual receptacles other than the floor receptacle under the desk in the entire room.The inspector looked at it really funny on final but shrugged and said no usable wall space no receptacle required.
