 Seriously, what desk did y'all buy?, December 6, 2008
Alright, seriously. I want the desk y'all bought. Let's talk about mine: it holds my computer and my pens, but I'm really not too sure I could even put my backpack on this sucker after I get home from school without it crashing to the floor. I'd even be willing to trade with the person who wrote the "Meh" review. Honestly, that desk is probably a hundred times better than this lovely thing I've got over here.
It took me an hour to put together. I know my way around tools, and I can build things. Why an hour? you ask. Because half of that was spent either coaxing the pieces to fit together or MAKING them fit. I'm dead serious. Putting this thing together required all of my creativity and patience. What I really should have had was a table saw and a sander, but I don't, so it looks like a drunk person made it, and I have a couple of screws that I couldn't have slapped on this thing without divine intervention.
The end result is a crooked, wobbly desk that makes more noise than a dying walrus when you open the drawer. Value? Um, none. Nein, non, nothing, nada, possibly even NEGATIVE. I might keep it, but really only because I'm reluctant to part with it after I slaved over it for so long. It's like a trophy, because seeing it standing upright makes me feel accomplished. Building this desk may be the closest I ever get to performing magic, so perhaps it is actually worth that 70 bucks I paid for it.
