I’ve been on this mental “kick” lately of trying to think of alternatives for things - unorthodox uses for particular items, or unorthodox items for particular uses. (These “outside-the-box” options can make it easier to find what one needs at a thrift store or yard sale, and/or to find something attractive that meets the need.) I am wondering what you all use, have used, or have seen used as computer desks, that was not specifically intended as a computer desk. For instance, my mom had this piece of furniture - I guess you’d call it a hutch - that had a part that opened up almost like a rolltop desk. My dad used that open-out place for his laptop. I just have a desk at the moment, although it isn’t large enough to be intended as a computer desk. (It’s just a small one, like a student would use at home.) It works fine for a laptop, without taking up a lot of space, but it doesn’t leave much writing surface. (If it had one of those pull-out writing surfaces, it would be perfect!) Other ideas?
