What I Really Need

I'm getting tired of working at a kitchen table, so I was thinking.... Eventually I am going to need some new Office Furniture. When my husband and I had big plans to move to California, we sold just about everything we owned. So, right now I am working on an antique kitchen table instead of the Office Desk I used to have. It’s too big, too bulky and sticks halfway out into the middle of the dining room/office floor.

To make matters worse, this black leather office chair that we kept, that was in great condition, the cats have used as their scratching post. Unfortunately, there aren't really any office furniture stores in the area, so looking at Office Chairs, desks or anything else for that matter is nearly impossible.

So if I want to buy new office furniture, I guess I'm going to have to buy it online or get a decent vehicle that runs so that we can drive out of this tiny little town and do some real shopping. Well I was looking around and found I like officesupermarket. I've visited their site before through a friend and they have a lot of nice stuff. The only problem I see is that they are from United Kingdom. I could always have my friend ship the furniture to me.lol Just kidding Nattu!

Years ago I had this great cherry stained desk. I loved it. I can't remember where it was purchased at, but I wouldn't mind another cherry stained desk again. The one thing I don't want is a huge desk. The window that we have is a bay window and I would hate to block it off in any way. My husband wouldn't care, but he's not the one who works in an at-home office.lol I absolutely love looking out our bay window. It’s the highlight of my dreary days.

Now as far as the office chair, my husband might actually care about it.lol The black leather chair was originally his. But, of course I needed a chair to work in, so I took it over.lol My husband likes the big comfy chairs, which of course is why we have the big leather one.

I used to have a gray cloth office chair. It was another piece of office furniture that I loved because it was simple, yet comfortable. However, I can guarantee it wouldn’t survive even five minutes with our kittens who think they own the place.lol

I also had a white desk to go with that chair. Thinking back, I think both color choices were wrong, pets or no pets. They get dirty very easily and it’s just not very practical, so this time around I think I will stick with the darker shades.

Right now however, I just don't know what to do. While I am tired of working at a kitchen table, buying anything new is simply out of the question. What do you think? Should I buy something overseas or stick to a local place? I should upload a picture of the chair and table, just to show you what I'm talking about.lol

New Office Furniture

I know eventually I am going to need some new Office Furniture. Just before we decided to try to move to California, we sold all of our furniture and belongings that weren't necessary, to cut the cost of moving expenses. Since office furniture really isn't a necessity, we sold what we had. The desk wasn't in the best shape anyway, so eventually when our finances are better, a new desk would be fabulous. Right now, I am working on a kitchen table. It's big and bulky and I'm no longer able to see outside of the bay window. So, what's a girl to do?

Well, for now there is not much I can do, but when I do have the money to splurge on a new desk, I found that OfficeSupermarket has a nice selection of Home Office Furniture. They have everything from the simplest office desk, to the executive desk, to Office Tables and more.

I was looking at more than just their desks, though. The cats are beginning to claw up the leather office chair we do have. There are some very nice office chairs at some really great prices. They also have a five-year guarantee on all of their furniture, which is great! I don't know about you, but I hate it when I buy what I think is a great piece of furniture and it ends up falling apart a few months later.

Well, maybe it’s just me and I am picking the wrong kind of furniture? I did take a look at OfficeSupermarket’s step-by-step desk guide to help me decide which desk is right for me. Should I get a glass desk that the cats or kids could easily break, or maybe a sturdy desk like a cherry oak desk that can withstand more wear and tear?

No matter which desk maybe right, a reasonable price still takes priority in my book. When I am shopping online I want the best price possible. I don’t want to be spending hundreds of dollars on furniture that might not outlast the cats or kids in this household. And if I can get away with not having to spend a lot of shipping, then that’s even better.

I found out that OfficeSupermarket does offer delivery at 10% of the total purchase price. So it’s pretty reasonable if you live in the area. The only downfall I’ve learned is, I don’t live in the area. Still, if you live in the area, the delivery fee isn’t such a bad deal and neither are their prices.
