But, as far as the "a good desk should last several years" and the "you'll have to sit in your mistake for a long time"... that's all bullshit. <br /><br />You don't need an over priced, fancy piece of furniture that takes body builders to move for a pc/work desk. I bought the cheapest pc desk I could find that looks good but suited my needs. It was so cheap, I had to build it myself. The style is kind of like yours but very very stripped down. My cat Shadow helped me build it. :D<br /><br />This thing is made of nothing but a modern version of press wood (I think it's called press board but, it's more like wood fibers instead of wood chips). It's solid as a rock and, I can pound on it (and trust me I have) and it still won't break. By the way, I bought this thing almost 10 yrs ago and it's good as new.<br /><br />That's the advantage of modern technology and design. I can have a desk that looks EXACTALLY like yours, in several styles and colors but, it only costs a small fraction of the price instead. And, you can't tell the difference unless you start inspecting it closely. In fact, most expensive furniture these days are made with the same material except they have expensive, very beautiful veneer surfaces. Even wood workers can't tell until you look underneath. <br /><br />My desk top has contact paper that looks kinda like marble (don't ask me why) and the "wood" surfaces are probably plastic. I've had to take it apart and put it back together more than once just to move it from my old apartment and from downstairs to upstairs. I've banged it all up in the process and you can't even tell. <br /><br />The difference between my piece of junk and your expensive desk is, I don't care about the small chips and other dings in the desk, because I didn't pay as much as a junker used car for it. If I wanted to, I could've bought a fancier desk with drawers that looked like yours, except it would've only cost about $40 more than mine. <br /><br />But, the best part is, both the more expensive desk and my stripped down version are so light, when I take the top selves off, I'm able to lift and carry each part of the desk myself, except when going up and down stairs or turning corners in narrow hallways and doors. If I wanted to, I can break it down into even smaller parts and a child can carry it. <br /><br />It's called thinking ahead and getting function over fashion. Try doing that with your fancy, over priced desk. ;)Angry Americanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07978451109796261747noreply@blogger.com
