Looking for a nice computer desk with draws for hinding all my Coupons ! Please help
I cant remember one that has actual drawers except for the keyboard tray. Most drawers are on regular desks which you can use as a PC desk. In fact I noticed that all the middle drawers are dual use now even on regular desks. The have a flip out front panel that can lay flat for keyboards or click into an upright position to use as a regular drawerer.
If you count that as a drawer , lots of computer desks have that too but then you wont be able to hide your KB in it if you use it that way.
I got a desk for someone recently, the old one is completely falling apart. I got the old one too on a sale. It was the usual particle board , fake vinyl veneer desk with printed wood grain. It cost almost as much as the new one which is real wood and glass. Im trying to replace a few pieces of absolutely decrepit pieces of junk for this person , one a month at a very low cost with far better quality pieces which cost around the same as the old ones. You really regret buying super cheapo junk after a year or so and like I said, it cost only slightly more so when it comes time to replace it, you should go for better stuff.
The Whalen desks at Sams Club are OK -- the one Im talking about. Full featured particle board/mdf desks run around 200-500 and real wood is 700-1000+. The super cheapos can run sub 200 for a real desk , in that range you can find some purely PC desks that have that minimalistic modern look that are OK but not real desks unless its a big hot deal.
Im trying to avoid any super tacky cheap particle board , mdf furniture from now on since you can get some cheaper end real wood, glass , metal type stuff if you really look hard though it tends to be a bit bare looking. I threw away this particle board TV stand away recently that I got on sale for 145 which in retrospect looks like a super tacky piece of junk and was falling apart. The all glass, metal replacement was only 200 and looks a gazillion times better and will last far longer.
Theres this one but its 250

They seem to be phasing out a cheaper whalen that was around 200. It was there last month but its gone now locally and at various other Sams Clubs.
If you dont mind that particle board/fake wood look there are desks like this which look mainly like regular desks with a keyboard tray.
$149 I think there was a hot deal on something like this a little while a go too for really cheap.
