Where does one get a good desk? I've only ever had cheapos


Jan 12, 2021, 10:29 AM

from Wal-Mart or Big Lots or some such. Or whatever my office provides.

Office Depot seems to have some decent-looking stuff. Anyone have any good experiences with desk-buying recently that I can piggyback off of? I'd like not to spend more than $500 or so.

I'm hearing that for those who choose to, remove work is going to be a permanent option where I work. At least that's what my VP is pushing for. Time to make a real office.

...but you have a desk.

It was this whole big thing.

Yeah, and it's about shot.


Jan 12, 2021, 10:41 AM

That was almost 5 years ago, you know? Time to upgrade to executive desk setup with maybe a nice book case behind.

70s though. I think I'd go the Ikea route but instead of their top, just get some MDF.

Agree. I don't get up in the morning to sit at a desk

unless it's $7500 or more and has a catalog description written by J. Peterman himself.

About 15 years ago, my wife's former employer was moving


Jan 12, 2021, 11:03 AM

and they were selling furniture instead of moving it to the BRAND NEW location. We got a nice desk and bookshelf for a couple hundred. You should do that too.

Or just go to ikea every couple years.

2024 purple level memberringofhonor-greenr.jpg flag link military_tech thumb_downthumb_up

Two file cabinets & a used door. Or Wayfair. Or Estate sale.


Jan 12, 2021, 11:20 AM

I think I have tried all 3 at various times.

There used to be a decent # of used office furniture places around but not sure now and I bet they got cleaned out of desks and chairs over the last year.

Jan 12, 2021, 11:24 AM

facebook for sale stuff.

I'd guess since a lot of offices will not be opening back up as leases come due, there will be a lot of that kind of stuff for sale on the cheap.

Wait..didn't you already steal, I mean take your desk home from work? Or is that fluffheadI'm thinking of?

I've been in business for 26 years


Jan 12, 2021, 11:38 AM

The weekend before I opened my business I went and bought a desk some office supplies a printer and a microwave. I bought a huge cheap desk from Sam's to get me by until I could get a fancy desk. It is still my desk today and I doubt very seriously I'll ever get another one.

2024 orange level memberbadge-donor-10yr.jpg flag link military_tech thumb_downthumb_up


How's the microwave and printer holding up?


Jan 12, 2021, 11:57 AM

WHere do you find the green and white stripped paper with the perforated holes on the side these days?

Jan 12, 2021, 2:05 PM

Gets used a dozen times a day or more. Printers are long gone but I do have a full size copier that is over 10 years old. We dont copy near as much any more we just email pdfs

You can get some decent ones on Amazon....


Jan 12, 2021, 11:43 AM

I got this for my office at work last year.

Might not be the look you're going for for a home office though. There are nicer ones available, but I didn't want to spend that much...or rather I didn't want to spend too much more than I'm willing to allow others to spend at work.

I'm not that LDR, and my office isn't that big, but this is the kind of setup I need.

I added the cross bar at the bottom to rest my feet while sitting, the monitor mounts, and a few other upgrades. It's pretty dope to be honest.

also upgraded to two 28" curved Samsung monitors
