Although it suits the desk - not sure you are doing your back any favours if you are using that chair for any period of time.
Ok so I like having a desk to keep those small things we all like in! Also I like older furniture with a 'lived in' look. So this is my desk, I looked at getting new ones but didn't like their style and they were pretty expensive for what they were.
So this one I'm told is from the 1920-30s and looks like it had some use!
So what do yours look like, do you like old or new?

Get all your things. Everything in your house, now put all that on a table. That's what my desk looks like. That's at work. At home I use my phone
Your desk is missing a bankers lamp.
I like the way the computer was chosen to coordinate with the style of the desk.

Definitely a bankers lamp required

I dare not, it may be the hub of all things but its a bit, lived in.
Do you have horse-brasses around the fireplace too?
Started the thread as a bit of fun for people who perhaps liked old/new desks and stuff and might have something different.
Obviously it's not going to be that so rather than upset or annoy anyone I will remove the post.
Can you put the pictures back up please?
A stark contrast to the rest of my flat
Yeah, not much sniping at sub 12ftlb. And not a Harris, I forget the brand, but they're a lot cheaper :) aa s510, hw99s, and bsa superstar on the floor.
Desk is actually dining table. We eat everything off our laps like civilised folk
It may interest you to know that precharged air chamber rifles were originally used by snipers, sometime about the Napoleonic era (I'm sure that the time scale is wrong but there's enough pedantry around here that it'll be corrected). The rifles were too delicate and expensive for general use, but the silence and lack of muzzle flash/smoke made them ideal for sniper purposes. It has been told that being caught with one of those early airguns on the battlefield was enough to be put up against the wall and shot with no further questions asked.
There's a YouTube channel devoted to desk setups, he even goes to people's houses and gives them a "desk makeover" you can all laugh about it but when you see the thought that goes into some of his screen, speaker and keyboard set ups. You'll go out and start spending money.
Could have been an interesting thread given the number of people who work from home but? as an aside yours looks good but the chair would not be my choice for long periods.
I no longer have a desk being retired and i love it.
I would genuinely like to get some inspiration on how to set my desk up at work!
That is actually tidier than my desk.
I don't work Mondays so it gives theatre staff an extra day to find things they need while I've been off
Sore point at the minute. Having an extension built and had earmarked the new bedroom as an office / man room. Lots of dark wood furniture and leather. Like a private club.
Fast forward 6 months and the leather sofa bed has now become an Ikea day bed, the bookshelves have turned into wardrobes for extra storage for the kids clothes and my desk has gone from a manly slab of vintage mahogany to a little apology of a desk stuck in the corner. Worst thing is, all the stuff is white. Not manly, not cossetting, not happy!
Can't put a picture up as I work with a lot of proprietary hardware but my desks span one wall of my home office and are both a rats nest of wires, debug probes, pcbs, scopes and psus. Every few months I have a tidy up but after a week they are back to their awful state.
I work away, home in a week or so, will snap some then.
