When I needed to set up my home office I knew 2 things: I didn't want to spend a lot, and I didn't have a lot of space. I started looking at used furniture, and then at discount and big-box stores, but I couldn't find anything that hit the right spot on my price/quality curve. Then I remembered that...

I bought the IKEA Mikael desk and add on unit right after finishing college for my first place. It is a large desk that takes up a fair amount of space, but it was great for holding my computer and tons of books and notebooks for grad school. I really liked the dry erase board to keep my to do...

If you are looking to get organized but don't have a lot of space or money, this is the desk for you. It's a great desk for college students.

It's a little tough to find a place for a printer since so much of the desk is geared toward storing office supplies and books. I have mine on one of the shelves over the moniter. It is difficult to load paper into and just plain get to up there, but the only other option...
