NSSP: Desks - Edit 2
Before modification by Vivien at 09/03/2011 08:33:04 PM
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.
