How to buy a desk
There is just one rule when buying a desk: it should be comfortable to sit at.
This is simply not the case when your legs don't fit below it, because of the bulging and over-decorated drawers getting in your way.
Avoid the bulgy ones, even if they go well with the rest of the furniture. You're not going to use the desk much if you can't sit at it.
Even a plain table is better than the bulgy "classic" type of desk. You have much more freedom to spin around in your office chair without hitting your knees. If you need extra storage, use a rolling cabinet which you can easily move out of the way.
