Think my desk used to be some kind of a giant old partners desk that had two sides or something. My Dad cut it down and put it back together as a single desk to fit in our house when I was 3. Remember the day my Mom was painting it. That was the day I saw a Thunderbird.

The desktop is Masonite. On top of the drawers on each side is a pullout shelf. Use those for my mouse on one side and drinks and snacks on the other. Have a piece of matching masonite that fits on the center drawer pulled out just enough for a keyboard tray and is just the right height. Desk is a little deeper than I need but have room for extra drives, etc.

The weird thing about the old desk is no file drawer. Instead is has a door on one side with cubby holes for mail, etc. Would be a great place to keep a tower if I used one.

Found a desk I really liked 15 years ago. It would have been perfect. It was made by Stanley, but it was $2500. Looked again a couple of years ago and they no longer have it or anything like it. Guess if I want something to do what I want it to do will be better off buying a nice table saw and surfacer and make my own. Friend I grew up with works at the post office. As a hobby he made all the furniture in his house. Started in wood shop in HS. The shuff he made in wood shop was for his bedroom, but made it for and ended up being for his boys room.
