Desk hunting

by Ari Herzog on May 7, 2008

Last week, I wrote about wanting to buy a writing desk.

Easier written than done.

Over the past few days, I walked into downtown antique and used furniture stores, drove to similar stores in the region, and even checked department stores like Staples and Homegoods.

Everything is either too expensive, too heavy, too many accessories (shelves, drawers, and the like) or not the right color.

On the tip of a former colleague, I’ll visit two more places tomorrow that may stock used furniture for what I want. If I can’t find anything in my style and price range, I’ll wind up buying one of three desks online:

A desk from Staples:

A desk from Target:

Or a desk from Ikea:

Ikea would probably be my choice.
