I had thoughts similar to yours. I even considered installing a little bulkhead, very similar to your "knees" idea. But, it would make a mess of my main cabin, so I think the "pillar" thing might be the least-bad idea.
I was thinking about a 4"x4" pillar made of "something", and then add a thin layer of teak over that. My question is the "something". Do you think I should laminate together a couple fir 2x4s, or maybe a 4x4 pressure treated post, or maybe something else entirely?
