Come see my new desk and ceiling fan!

  • Thread starter Thread starter
  • Start date Start date

My birthday present from my parents was a new desk - I've always wanted an L-shaped desk, and I wanted one that was tough as hell. One that wouldn't shake if I bumped it, and one that would be sturdy enough for printers, books, etc. to sit on it.

And this morning, I had an electrician out to install three ceiling fans in the condo. He was four and a half hours late (and I had to go to work, but luckily I found someone to wait with them), but the job DID get done. I can only hope they'll comp me a little on the bill. If not, I'll make sure the BBB knows about it.

Anyway, pics:

Look! No wires!

For those curious, it's a Bush OfficePro Modular desk collection. It consists of one 48" desk, one 60" desk, and a corner connector.

I want to paint the room...any color suggestions? I was thinking something nice and cool, as it'll offset the warm tones that the desk gives the room.
 
The ceiling fan isn't moving, I call for an instant ban! 😛

Nice setup jumpr :beer:

Actually it is moving, it's just that my S400 is THAT good!

And as for the Dell, why would I buy anything else when I can get one for under $400 after rebates (about 1.5 years ago) with a 2 GHz P4, 1 512 MB stick, a CD burner, and an awesome warranty?

Wow, NICE DESK!!! That is a really tough-looking piece of furniture. 😎 Attractively styled, too.

Did you pick it out? You have good taste in furniture.

Congrats to you and good luck.

Thanks for the compliments. I did pick it out, and I looked at several commercial-quality desk collections from both Bush and Sauder before I settled on the OfficePro. When I looked at it in the store, the Bush stuff was a lot tougher-feeling than the Sauder stuff, and the desktops were a bit thicker too.

Truthfully, I'd have loved to build my own, but not only do I not have tools, but I don't have expertise either.

I absolutely love the tone of the wood...it's perfect; not too light, not too dark.

OfficeMax occasionally has 25% off the OfficePro collection. 🙂

I got my $300 Bush desk for $120 or so. Summer sale + coupons + rebates 😀
 
Well that's a mighty fine desk, congrats 🙂 It does help with those coupons though 🙂 If you wait for the right sale you get all the pieces combined cheaper anyhow
 
Gotya beat on that. 🙂 We have the same exact furniture line, but have two 60" desks, a corner connector, and one of their corner desks. It fills the room, but is great to have all that space.
