Avoid IKEA. Much of their furniture is hollow on the inside, especially the worktop desk surfaces. El Wife found that out painfully when drilling...

Yeah, don't discount kitchen DIY furniture as found at places like IKEA. ?The wife and I redid our computer/music/scrapbooking room with kitchen cabinets rather than the office stuff about 7 years ago. IKEA had way better selection in the kitchen department than in the office department.? The office stuff they offered was really lame!? Of course now with the Corona Virus and working from home, my laptop computers and desk area get a lot more use!

Wife introduced kitchen work surfaces (Kuechenarbeitsplatte). Cheap, can be had at home improvement store, works well here.

Hello Dave,
No nothing bad at all, just making it more difficult for ourselves.
When we moved house I took over a room for my gear, so I was able to
build benches, shelves etc as I wanted them. At first it was fine, but
I think as we all do a flat surface is for putting things on. So the
amount of available work area reduces and reduces until we're trying
to work on a large bit of gear in a space which isn't quite big
enough...... I've over come this by having a removable 'bench' which
is only put into place when I need the extra room and removed
afterwards. If it were left in place it would end up covered in stuff!
We can't help it, I think it's in all our natures to collect.

Why do we do this to ourselves?
