Neighbour'sPlastic Table Set In Front Of Main Door

[myfs_134423]

Hello Lee SiFu,
I live in a highrise HDB apartment. A few days ago my facing neighbour placed a red plastic table/4 stools set in the front area of their flat which is between my Main door and their Main door ( see photo attached of my Main/front door view).
Does this pose a FengShui threat in the form of a Poison Arrow or other Negative forms, as it is directly in line with my Main/front door view ? What cure can I implement to counter this ?
My Main door is in the NW Sector facing SW1. It is a NE1 house.
Thank you in advance for your valued time/advice. Your expert view is very much appreciated.

Thanks for the photo.
These are some of the considerations:
1. Plus points: 1.1 Very spacious "entrance" lobby. Good for "bright hall" effect.
1.2 Fortunately, the fire escape staircase (on the right side of the photo) does not have any direct effect on your Feng Shui @ the main door.
2. Because of the large lobby area, and that even with their picnic table, looks quite neat.
3. In fact, when I first saw your bench, I was like erh.. But it is also relatively low. Usually it be best not to have such a bench facing your main door. But I personally feel no issue. By placing such a chair, symbolically you are limiting your space to that boundary.
4. As their picnic table is low height and a distance away, I feel it is no major issue, even if it is red. (other than if there are any flying star considerations, if any)
5. Given that there are always shared or common areas in a public housing; many have to live with such things (not much choice). There are worst senarios like bamboo poles of neighbours facing the main entrance door etc...

Dear Lee SiFu,
Thank you for your prompt reply.

1. Regarding the bench, we had it there few years ago before I knew anything about FengShui. It was placed there for conveniencefor one tosit downso as to be able to comfortablywear one's socks and tie shoe laces. Alsothe benchwas low andit never occurred to meas being obstructive. Now that I know its not good for Feng Shui I will try toconvince my family toget rid ofit ( they may think I'm being superstitious).

2. In your pt. 4. you mentioned :

"As their picnic table is

low height and a distance
away, I feel it is no major
issue, even if it is red.
(other than if there are any
flying star considerations, if
>any)"

As to flying star considerations, this front door is situated in the NW sector ( m-3,w-2,b-8) of my apartment, door facing SW1( its a NE1 facing apartment). The fact that the five yellow for this year 2010 is in the SW. So, I thought the five yellow Qi will be entering the door from the SW direction since the door is facing SW1 although in the NW Sector. Would the Red colour of the "picnic table set"trigger/further aggravate the five yellow ? What can we do to counter this?
Further informationwhich I think might be relevantis thatwe havea mirror on the "foyer" wall about 1.5 meters away from the door entrance. Would this help tobounce off any bad Qi when the door is open?
3. Another issue which I would like your opinion is the sharp edge of the wall protruding out about 1.5 ft depth from the left side, roughly about 1.3 meters from the front door as can be seen clearly in the photo. Its actually a compartment housing the electrical riser.
Thank you in advance for your valued time/advice. Your opinions/advice are most appreciated.

Aquick reply on the bench:-
1. As you had mentioned, it has been for a few years. And low and neat and tidy. In my opinion, therefore, will not affect the Feng Shui that much (if any).
2. As the frontage of your main door is considered bright (or still) able to have "bright hall" effect which is good.
3. So no need to take drastic steps in removing it.
4. Earlier, I mentioned, when you placed the bench, it a sense, symbolically, to some people, it means that "your cares" are only up to the bench area. Thus, in a sense, in my opinion, to your neighbour, perhaps, implies that they can do anything they want "out of this" boundary - that's all.
