Tiny den - is it a bad idea to use it as a dining nook?

Dining Room

I have the smallest apartment ever with a bad layout. So much so that there is no space for even a dining table for 2. I do have this den right off the kitchen and I was thinking of using that space to have a small table and chairs, as well as a small storage option. Here is the space, and I used Ikea's kreativ to see what I could fit in the room. I was thinking of something like this (see below screenshot) and maybe hanging a pendant light from the ceiling over the table. The table would double as a workstation. Would love some advice or alternative options etc
