The Actual Desk: Ideas

[ryanreacts]

Let's start with the simplest option: this one can be assembled with zero tools, and that charging station would certainly be useful. The built-in shelves are fun, and I could get a storage cart(s?) to go with it.

But then there's also this one, which has zero storage (again: storage carts!), but I do love the idea of my "writing corner" facing into an actual corner, and the adjustable height feature could be very good for me, so this one is definitely a possibility even though it is one of the most expensive choices.

Or this one! A bit of storage (I am annoyed that they don't have any pics with any of those four drawers opened), and I wouldn't need to think about what to do to keep my monitor at eye level because it's already done, plus they added holes for cables to go through. I love it.

But oh, look at this! Top shelf would be for paperbacks, with tiny toys hanging out on top of them. Second shelf could be more books/comics, OR could be more toys and slash or witchy stuff. And the weird under shelf? Puzzles, for sure, whenever I buy some. Library comics could sit there in one or more vertical stacks. More witchy stuff, probably. Lots of Doorables and Mixlings? Maybe.

And then I just discovered two more awesome options. This one is fucking adorable, I don't know, I love it at first sight for some reason. Those drawers would be great for keeping witchy stuff secret, then it also has four shelves of storage space. Speaking of storage shelves, this desk might be my new favorite, because where a more traditional desk might have drawers it has six storage shelves, and obviously the brilliant thing about that is that approximately three, if not more, of those six shelves could store stuff AND display some of my favorite dolls, action figures, or statues! Maybe even my one Charlie Bear? Gosh dang. Even if I do choose another desk, I should get this for display! Maybe. Or, oooh, right next to my door! Between the door and the desk. I could drop my backpack on top when I get home and leave my shoes (and laundry basket) in the empty space. One shelf for library comics, one shelf for notebooks, toys could hang out on every shelf, one shelf for toilet paper and other bathroom supplies, one portion of one shelf could be where my weed hangs out, etc.  The point is, it has a lot of potential and I really like it and I love toys.
 

EDIT TO ADD: Oh my fucking what, look at this. I just. I love so many things about this. I love the metal base and the riser for the monitor (which creates a little extra space to store something under it) and the slide-out keyboard panel and the goddamn fucking built-in shelves! It even comes with a place to hang a pair of headphones. This desk might be one of the most perfect desks I have ever contemplated.
