Like the title says- I just moved into a new house.
We'd been living at my sister's house while she was out of the country, but now we have our own place because she's coming back. :vivi-celebrate:

We got to pick out all new furniture and it's been really fun, but the thing that has been tripping me up the most is trying to buy a desk.

Couch? sure
Table? mhmmm
Washer/Dryer? No problem
Fridge? Next!

Desk? panicpanicpanicpanic

I love having a desk so much and it feels like such a personal purchase. I don't wanna get it wrong.

Well when you spend a lot of time at the computer it's an important purchase!

@kitalpha hart: I suppose it would be more standard, but it has to be able to hold my crafty things and it has to be out in the open where it's visible if you walk in my house. aaaand it has to have shelving so that little toddler hands can't get my pens/pencils/markers/sharp things.

@Mousy: sounds like a standard one with lockable drawers would be useful

I've been looking at this one, but it's not on prime.
Desk


I've also been wondering if I ought to wait to see what goes on sale on Black Friday/Cyber Monday too.

@eyry: it feels good! We're all tired, but all of the installations and deliveries happened exactly on time and smoothly. Overall 10/10 move, but would not do it again. XD

@priestess of pie: /pets my computer. I loves her so much. T_T She deserves the best.

I would also prefer something that I can get this week since I'm off for the week and could put it together.

It's actually really hard to find a good desk I feel. We have a desk like this if you don't need the storage.

Have you tried looking around second hand stores for desks? You can find some pretty decent furniture in them sometimes. That's where I got my desk from. It's one of those heavy old fashioned metal ones. Only cost me 30 bucks.

@Mousy: Oh I really like that design. It's very open. Lots of nice storage.

@totalanimefan: Those are really nice! I really like the one with the treadmill. XD

@Kay: I haven't looked yet, but that's a really good idea. I don't have a truck to lug it home though. I'd need it to fit in my suv.

@priestess of pie: But it gets shipped next week. If I can't find anything around here, I'll probably go for that one.


I am Veruca Salt about this desk. XD

oooo nice that everything went as planned! much less stressful when things are on time~

I like the look of that desk too.
I recently got something similar in idea haha like a basic rectangle that had shelves under on one side and I could've have bought other pieces to have a tall shelf on the other side as well, but I didn't need it

waiting for black friday could be good too. it's soon anyway
