Ask HN: I need a desk

5 pointsby Breweralmost 14 years ago
I'm looking for a desk to put in my apartment. I'd like enough room to comfortably sit 2 24" monitors, and still have room to work on the problem sets for my math courses (this means books and paper thrown everywhere). I'd like to have an L shape desk, but if I can find one long enough then a straight desk will work too. The desk shouldn't be any longer than 6 feet.<p>If those requirements aren't hard enough then here's another one: I can't afford to spend more than $250, unless I really like the desk in which case I might consider doing $300.<p>Where can I find such a thing?

It sounds like you're a college student; I assume looks don't matter too much for you.<p>Go to a hardware store and pick up some cinder blocks and countertop. Cut the countertop to fit your area, place on cinder blocks.

Government surplus stores are often a source of large but cheap office furniture if you have on close by.
