The desk that I ordered isn't going to happen- I ordered it 2 weeks ago when it was in stock, my credit card was charged and my account said that it had shipped and was in transit. *Today* I get an e-mail that my desk is actually out of stock and my patience is appreciated and here's a coupon for a future purchase! Obviously, I am getting a refund. In the meantime, I’m picking out a desk to get (though I won’t order it until the current desk issues are 100% resolved, I don’t want to end up with 2 desks here)

I may just go all out on the glass theme in my room and get a glass desk. I’m look at desks under $200 so as long as it’s under that number price isn’t an issue.

The current contenders:

http://www.overstock.com/Home-Garden/Glass-Miranda-Computer-Desk/5219185/product.html?rcmndsrc=2

Pro: Stunning! Functional! I love the shelves and the curves.
Con: Will I be able to assemble this desk? A review says that a part was missing, which took a while to straighten out, this worries me. The legs/columns seem a little think, but not a big deal.


http://www.overstock.com/Home-Garden/Glass-Sabra-Computer-Desk/5219183/product.html?rcmndsrc=2


Pro: Also stunning and functional. According to reviews, easy to assemble.
Con: I prefer the curves of the Miranda.

http://www.overstock.com/Home-Garden/White-Retro-Desk-Drafting-Table/5721368/product.html?rcmndsrc=2

Pro: Metal and glass, just like my furniture. Easy to assemble.
Con: My furniture is off white and if this desk is white it could be a little off. No shelves.

Neither pros nor cons. Very plain, but nothing bad about it either. No shelves. My sister has the same desk.

Feedback? Suggestions?

Edit: I've realized that the Sabra doesn't have enough sitting room for my chair so right now the miranda is the clear favorite.

About the keyboard trays: Vivien - 09/03/2011 07:59:12 PM 476 Views
Are you going to be using a laptop's touchpad, or do you have a separate mouse? Morgawse - 10/03/2011 02:38:16 PM 409 Views

I would keep looking. Aeryn - 10/03/2011 03:56:11 PM 584 Views
Yes, I'll wait a while to order to make sure I don't wind up with 2 desks. Vivien - 10/03/2011 09:12:45 PM 385 Views
Here's 1 more desk! Vivien - 10/03/2011 09:33:41 PM 411 Views
Probably not what you're looking for... Craig - 10/03/2011 08:13:50 PM 602 Views
Wow, that's *really* not what I'm looking for. Vivien - 10/03/2011 09:00:19 PM 403 Views
Decor? Hah! Craig - 12/03/2011 04:13:39 AM 526 Views
Huh. I thought yours would be more like this. TaskmasterJack - 10/03/2011 11:50:53 PM 394 Views
I think it's a sign you should go in the opposite direction. Tom - 10/03/2011 08:47:27 PM 501 Views
Hahaha, no way! Vivien - 10/03/2011 09:45:29 PM 403 Views
You could always get rid of the bed, and sleep on that table if you want. *NM* Aeryn - 11/03/2011 12:44:47 AM 213 Views
