Now the old one was neither that old nor that bad, aside from being short, like with my chair in the lowest position my knees were level with the desktop short. Aside from that it was also too thick, and had a full length cable tray along the back, meaning I couldn't clamp anything to the desk because it was too thick. So lots of little nuisances, but still a nice desk that I need to get to selling.
I was looking at L shaped desks, and had a couple Ikea models I was looking at, but was lazy about going after, so I missed on those. I settled for this odd ball

Yeah, not exactly L shaped, but definitely oddly shaped as you can see. In fact what you can't see are the notches on the sides for the top of the legs. I do wish it was a little wider as the lazer is a bit close, but it's good enough. The odd part is this cut out

I'm assuming it's for a keyboard tray, but it's just slightly narrower than my favorite one that I have

Of course that one pulls out and raises up, so I guess a regular one would work fine, and I guess you're supposed to store your chair there? Problem is that my standard sized chair with arms won't fit in there as the arms hit the desk, so...?

Overall, weird desk, but there is a label underneath, so I guess I'll look the desk up and see what the manufacturer had in mind.

Since there's a writer's prompt going around showing off work spaces, and this blog is my new home, and 'round a month or so ago, I got a new desk, how about I show off mine?

Interesting desk, bit on the low side, and the L pulls out. My original plan was to put the engraver on the L, but it's too big for that, hence it being on the desk. Also the computer that runs the engraver, a wait station/POS system, was originally on the L, but I moved it left of my monitor when I moved the laptop under the monitor. I could raise up the desk a couple inches easily enough, just need a few leg levelers, however the L is a challenge as its on these really small casters, so I could go with levelers, or figure out some appropriate casters, not really sure.

And yes, the L does need cleaning or sorting, a bunch of my AliExpress orders have come in yesterday and today, that's created some of the mess, some is cards from my birthday last month, and the rest is merely stuff that has to be put away or displayed. I promise, it'll really get cleaned, soon. Yep, not like my other projects that sit for months or even years, nope, this will really get done, soon... Tomorrow. Yep, tomorrow.

Oh, and yes, it is in front of the window, which is covered with gridwall, I can decorate, display and store things without blocking out all of the light. I might look into putting a blind up there, that way I can block the light at times, we'll see. Admittedly that'll be hard as I've got the grid up, but...
