:sl:
I sit on the floor with my legs crossed most of the time. I hate sitting on chairs. :/
Anyway, I want a small desk that can be used on the floor. Can anyone here recommend a good place to buy one? PLEASE! :/
I don't want to buy a big desk where I need a chair to sit on. :/ That's so annoying. >_>
OR
Does anyone know a place where they sell a block of wood? I could use that as a desk. :/

I don't want to build one. :/ I'm too tired. :/ Besides I'll make a mess.
Do you know where I can buy a block of wood? You know a long one so it can be used as a japanese coffee table.

^ Well depends on where you live.
I got a DIY store round the corner and they got TONS of wood. If i tell them what Im trying to build and give them measurements they will cut/smooth the pieces out for me.
Then I will simply buy paint/varnish/nails/hinges watever I need and get to work at home.
Your making me want to do it!!!

Height is too big! :( Too expensive as well. O_o £169.99 for a desk? What are these people smoking? They deserve to be shot.
The table legs must not be longer than 5cm.

Finally found what I wanted. I will use the shelve things as a table. I'll purchase 5 cus they are very cheap.
THANK YOU EVERYONE FOR SUPPORTING ME IN A VERY DIFFICULT TIME. I seriously felt as though I was getting depressed. I really wanted a low legged table to use as a desk so I don't have to sit on a chair to do my work.
The mods can close the topic now.
