    Angry Desk Collapse

    SO after about 10 years of service my nice wood desk finally collapsed. Luckily nothing was on it at the time but basically the support beam ripped out of the left side which had become weak from moving it back home.

    Anyone got any suggestions as to where to look for a new desk. I need something in wood that has a wide keyboard tray. It also needs to be over 62" long and as deep as possible.

    Fuck that. IKEA is garbage. If you ever have to move a desk more than 3 inches you might as well just take a hammer to the thing

    After the furniture industry moved from NC to China it is all crap. I would look on Searchtempest and look for someone who happens to be getting rid of one. Buying a new one that fits those specs is going to be $$$$.
