wingzero2309 Posted August 5, 2006 CID Share Posted August 5, 2006 I'm going to be starting college soon and i'm looking for a good desk for a fairly low price ($150 MAX). I recently found out about this desk called the IKEA Jerker, and it seems really good, i saw some pictures and it looks like quality stuff, but i was wonder if any testmy.net users have this desk. If you do, what are your opinions on it? and do you have any pictures you could post? the closest ikea store to me is almost 200 miles away, so i wanna pretty much make sure its going to be a good desk. also, if there are an other desks that anyone reccomends for college, please reply, thx in advance Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Swimmer Posted August 5, 2006 CID Share Posted August 5, 2006 I bought a desk called the wave studio from officemax about 4 years ago.. I will have to get the name of the company who makes it... I love it.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FallowEarth Posted August 5, 2006 CID Share Posted August 5, 2006 A good desk is definitely key for school. You've gotta be comfortable where you work. Tiger direct usually has some pretty good deals on computer desks. For the cost of gas you'd likely spend to make the trip to Ikea, the shipping to order from tigerdirect would probably be worth it too. http://www.tigerdirect.com/applications/SearchTools/search.asp?cat=221&keywords=desk&noredirect=1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Roco Posted August 6, 2006 CID Share Posted August 6, 2006 one thing I know about desks, they aint never big enough, tarnation, where has the mouse gone Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
resopalrabotnick Posted August 6, 2006 CID Share Posted August 6, 2006 one reason i never liked cordless mice roco. i like being to track em down with the cable... as for the desk, ikea usually has decent quality. it's usually in kit form, comes with the allen wrench you might need but usually needs some other tools. also check out their lines of modular shelving. you can buy parts that combine to form large units, even around corners, that will fit most any room. great for storing all those schoolbooks etc. caution, spam content: really, i'm not kidding. if you don't like spam, stop reading now. i warned you. [spam] if you find someone to give you more cash for a desk check out wrightline.com they will customize a desk/workstation for the space/needs you have.
