When I first began dreaming of working from home, I always had rosy pictures in my mind of what my workspace would look like. First of all, it would be more than just a workspace. It would be an office, complete with a door I could close to shut out distractions. It also would be outfitted with a gorgeous, eco-friendly desk with lots of space on top for my shiny new PowerMac and MacBook Pro. Yes. I want both.
Fast forward to today, and the reality is a tiny, kid-sized $5 desk from Goodwill shoved up against a window, with no new Macs in sight. Still, a girl can dream, and I’m sure my daughter will appreciate a desk to do her homework on, since I plan to pass it on to her when my dream office finally becomes a reality. The Breeze Series Bamboo Top Desk and Shelf are certainly going on my short list for office furniture.
First, they have the dark wood color and modern profile that I love, and the stainless steel certainly lends itself to a contemporary vibe. Second, at 55″ wide and 27.5″ deep, the desk is by no means huge, but certainly large enough to suit my needs, and considerably wider and deeper than the space I have now. I love that the desk comes with a very simple storage shelf, though I know I’d need a couple of bamboo baskets if there is to be any hope of keeping it organized. The matching 4-tier shelf would be the perfect complement, and I imagine it residing comfortably behind the desk. I have this thing about balance and symmetry (my graphic design background probably has a lot to do with that), so two pieces that work this well together are ideal for me.
And as eco-friendly furniture goes, these are moderately priced (meaning above $100, but still far from 4 figures).
