Great desks.

[TridenT]

Any ideas? I'm looking at desks. I'd like a nice desk. My current one is kinda crappy and wobbly. I don't want a wobbly desk, at all. It's gotta have an earthquake go on and not shake, basically. :hmm: What do you have and what does it look like?

Search desk. There are eleventy billion desk threads already. All end with the Nik pic.

If want you something really solid, you're looking at expensive fancy wood desks (think executive style).

On the other hand, if you want something reasonably solid (not going to shake when you type), there are tons of options out there. I like the Ikea Galant (with T-legs for sturdiness).

Any desk that costs exactly $1000.

Good answers, but this is an unrelated purchase and thus much below $1000. :\

Ikea Galants are nice for the price.. Have a number of options too.

Staples has some very nice, not too expensive glass desks. I'm not a fan of wood.

That's what I'm looking at for my next desk. Ikea desks are supposed to last for years.

Build one.

You can built something and have really solid. I could probably put an engine block on my desk without a problem. :awe:

Buy a $100 desk and glue $900 worth of bills to the surface.

Since you go to college, see if you can sign up for a woodworking/shop course. Learn a new skill. Build your own. Profit.

Build one.

Something tells me that's not going to happen...

For a student, something like this is quite reasonable.

Maybe Trident should give us some idea of what he's looking for. Storage, surface area, shelving, etc.

I heard mexico has some pretty good desk if you drive them over the border.

I never understood why student desks are so small. If anything, a student needs a bigger desk. I use 3-4x the space when I'm working on school than when I'm not.

I am not paying for that. I have a free ride for courses that actually go towards my degree.

Surface area is probably what I want.

Learn a skill to fall back on when your field dries up.

The field will never dry up.

Everyone needs electives and some sort of fallback skill/trade. I used to have the same mindset as you, but looking back, I wish I would've done that (not that I have needed to use any fallback, but still).

Learn to build something with your hands. You can really take pride in things you make yourself.
