Here in Chicago, there are options. Here in Chicago, I have a much better idea of my needs.
For example, I am not short, nor am I tall. Yet, desks and tables seem to be made for tiny-legged people. In what world can anything less than 28 inches be deemed acceptable?
The desks in high school were too short for me (and everyone). My Ikea desk from childhood was too short.
The website states its dimensions as 41 ⅜ (width) x 19 5/8 ” (length) x 29 ½ , however this is NOT accurate. At least in terms of seating space.
You must subtract the widths and heights of the shelves. I had this desk for most of my life.
From memory, the top shelf is about 4 in in height, so the actual height of the desk is 25 ½ in. The side shelf (storage area) is smaller than the length of the desk, making it about 12 in at most.
Back in high school, I remember complaining about my tiny desk. I wanted a larger one, like my mom’s personal work desk. I didn’t know how much desks cost.
Plus, I knew I would have my own desk in college. I spent my teens alternating between my bed, my floor, and my desk for homework assignments.
I remember sitting on a turquoise storage cube because desk chairs were too large to fit under the table. Part of me wishes I bit the bullet and got a desk chair, so at least I’d have one now!
