I am looking at new desks/chairs for use with many books and a laptop and stuff after I get my tax refund and/or the George W. Bush Pitty Check ($800 to "restart the economy") so I want some ideas...post away if you wish...
For me, an absolute requirement for desk chairs is that they lean back. I am quite specific here, too. The back must lean, and the seat must tilt up with it. This isn't at all an uncommon feature, but to me it's a great one.
Desks are far less crucial. If you're kind of sloppy, just get a big table. If you're not, get one with drawers.
but drawrs hide the slop when I hve female company! lol
It takes a rather extreme amount of dishevelment to turn-off a first date or chance encounter. If she ends up dating you, maybe you can convince her to tidy it up.
Just cleaned this 64 inch plastic piece of wonder.

I just laughed, because in the corner of the photo it appears that the "cleaning" may have been a transfer of desk-laden materials to the adjacent ironing board. Don't worry. My desk tidying process involves sorting through the papers, scanning the ones I think might be worth something, and then throwing everything into a box. Next time I get around to cleaning my desk, I empty the box into the trash and repeat. This happens about once a quarter.
I try to clean it at the weekend, and every time it looks lovely, I dont notice how, but after a week, im sat at it, look around, and its a disgraceful mess again. Coffee mug & stain, pens, junk mail, receipts, pot of curry sauce and half bag of fries, computer game, cigarrettes, books, a cloth and can of Mr Sheen, burn out candles, pay slips, and dirt
haha! I just realized I can't capture my setup in any one picture. My system is weaved throughout shelving, a bed, boxes, OVER a desk, and spilling into my closet.
