Sauder Computer Desk

Sauder Computer Desk

If you're in the market for a new Sauder computer desk for your home office you've got a lot of options available. You need to consider a few things first.

• Size: do you want a mamouth desk that holds computer, printer, bookshelves, and extra space for a variety of paper bins? Or do you want something small and neat to fit a tight space?
• Placement: Whether you want your desk in the corner, along the wall, or in the middle of the room they all require different types of desks in order to work properly. Some cannot be placed in the middle because the are too unstable to be freestanding. Others would not fit in the corner well.
• Color and style: For wood grains you can get every type and color imaginable, and if you're open to paint then the skies the limit.
• Features: Do you need a desk with lots of drawers or none? Where will you put the computer tower (if it has one?) Will the keyboard be on top of the desk or underneath it with a keyboard tray?

These are just a few of the factors you must consider. Another important one is whether you want a solid unit that cannot be taken apart, or if you want a piece made by a company like Sauder that you assemble yourself, but which can also be easily taken apart and moved from room to room or house to house.

I really like the Sauder lines of furniture. They make everything from desks to bookshelves to headboards. We had a local dealer who had a great selection of nearly ever piece in the Sauder line. It really was amazing and for a lot less money we could get quality furniture that was more easily moveable.

Sauder is an excellent brand. They have complete matching sets so if you really like a certain desk you can easily find shelves and other complementary items to match so your office will have a cohesive theme. 

The desk I'm using right now is by Sauder. It has two drawers on the left with three drawer fronts (so one of them is fake), and the same on the right. In the middle is a single pencil drawer. My keyboard sits on the top of the desk and there's plenty of room for my imac as well as a printer, backup drive and a variety of other papers. It's a medium oak finish and sits in the middle of the room. I have it so my chair is facing out toward the room, which allows me to watch the children playing around me. It's a great setup. The desk is heavy and was previously in the basement. With our narrow stairs the only way to get it down there and back up again was to take it apart. We can't do that with some of our other wood furniture so this desk was necessary since we wanted to move it to another room later on. It cost about $180 at the time, compared to several hundred if we'd bought it in a standard furniture store.
