Furniture

I'm trying to decide what to do about furniture. I had planned to get a nice desk, but am concerned that I won't be able to move it later. (I probably will change jobs fairly often in the next few years until I find a place to settle.) I can get a folding computer desk from Office Depot. It won't be as nice though, but it will also be cheaper. I also can buy folding bookcases online, but they will cost four times as much as cheap bookcases that I can buy at WalMart and Target. Any thoughts on what I should do?

Added: I just found folding bookcases at half price. Apparently it pays to search the Internet, or sometimes click ads that you don't think will be useful....Shipping for the half-price bookcases will be around $25 per bookcase.

In college and later, I used hollow core doors as desktops, sitting on identical filing cabinets or desk pedestals. I still use the same ones in my crafts room. Cheap, easy to disassemble and move, and the tops are light weight. You can use double-faced tape between the pedestal and door so it won't slide around.

Thanks, but I'm looking for something with a keyboard tray. The folding desk that I'm looking at has one that's adjustable.

You can buy a sliding keyboard tray and screw it to the bottom of a door. I put one on the bottom of a desk top.

Sometimes we are unable to take proper care of our furniture. When we bring the furniture one place to another always we can found some damage on them. It is because of misplaced of that furniture on vehicle at t6he time of transport.

After reading the above article I think these tips are very useful for all which takes care of our furniture.
