The Computer Desk: Double Your Efficiency and Comfort

How to study? Where to study? Most college students have a big decision to make once classes are over for the day. Should they study in their dorm/apartment or make the trek back to the library? Should they eat before, during or after studying? Does that 45 minute studying then 15 minute break technique actually work? Add facebook into the mix, and there are endless choices to make during your study period- Are you more like Harry Potter or Ron Weasley? Did your childhood friend finally grow into his ears? Who's that cute co-ed who sits next to you in History? Study time just got a lot more interesting.

Personally, I can't study in the library for more than an hour. You know those people who spend 5+ hours in there? I think their souls were sucked by Hour 2, and after that they are just empty shells bent over textbooks. Every night the janitors have to break out great big brooms to sweep up these shells of what used to be perfectly productive college students. Then they pick up the no-longer-owned textbooks and sell them back to the bookstore at outrageous prices (but that's a topic for another article).

However, if I am at home (well, college home), I can study for hours on end at the comfort of my own computer desk. I can listen to music without head phones, I can run upstairs for a bowl of cereal in the middle of analyzing Descartes' view on inequality, and I can sit in a comfy chair instead of those decades-old plastic horrors in the library. And my house doesn't have that weird smell of plastic-covered books mixed with lots of people in varying degrees of cleanliness.

Also, those desks in the library are ridiculous. They have built in little cubbies that are useful in theory, and they do a great job of holding your books, but they also make me incredibly claustrophobic, and if I lean down too far into my work, my forehead hits the edge of the shelf. Not to mention the fact that the desk behind me is really behind me- about six inches away from my back. I need my space, and apparently the acres-large library isn't the place to get it.

So back to my desk, my beloved computer desk. It has everything I need. There is enough space on the desk proper to spread out everything I'm working on at the moment- books, notes, laptop, etc.  Then there is a shelf properly placed above my head that holds all of my books, papers and binders that I will be using later. There's a little drawer perfect for holding writing utensils and other small necessities, and a hole provided to run my computer cord through so I can charge my laptop while I'm working (this is essential, especially for students. if you have to take notes in class on your laptop, you can't have it dying in the middle of the lecture. No bueno.)

Now, I got lucky that this desk fits me perfectly. If you have a choice in desks, make sure it fits! Find the perfect, most comfortable-yet-not-sleep-inducing chair you can, then make sure your legs will fit under the desk with enough room to move around. Does anyone else have claustrophobic legs? I do. Anyway, the fit is essential, otherwise studying at your own computer desk will not be any more appealing than slowly decomposing in the library.

Decide how much space you need, as well. Do you tend to spread things out while you work or keep everything neatly organized? Do you need a drawer for file folders, but not a drawer for pens and pencils? How about a shelves- will they be used or just become a place to drop things without a home? Spaces like that are one of the quickest ways for a workspace to become cluttered and make you feel anxious while you're trying to get things done. If you don't have a specific need for shelving, it's probably best to steer clear of it in order to keep things simple and calm. If you know you're going to have some of those random things popping up though, drawers are magical little hiding places. I know, it's a terrible organizational idea, but at least you don't have to see it all the time.

Now, I hope you will leave the library and just try using a computer desk at home. I can promise you greater efficiency, a more relaxed and productive study period, and a really cute date every week, but don't hold me to that. Happy studying!

36" Multi-Pack Desk + Hutch + CPU Side Shelf in red & black dual finish

A fresh take on modular furniture, Legaré offers stylish curvilinear designs crafted of eco-friendly materials that assemble and rearrange with unparalleled ease. In just three minutes or less with no tools, screws, or bolts needed, individual components lock snugly together to become sturdy, stable office and home pieces that will provide many years of high-quality service. Legaré's Select line is made of engineered composite wood with solid-wood surface veneers. Engineered wood, manmade from small wood pieces and adhesives, has several environmental advantages: large panels of wood can be made from small-diameter trees; the use of wood scraps and wood with defects reduces waste; and engineered products are often stronger and less prone to warping from humidity than solid timber. Plus, all the wood Legaré uses is certified by the Forest Stewardship Council. This 36-inch-by-27-inch student desk with a hutch and side CPU shelf packs lots of workspace and storage into a small--and very hip--footprint. What's more, its asymmetric reversible design allows for customizing according to a young scholar's changing needs. The hutch comes with four small side shelves and two wide shelves at top and bottom. The bottom shelf can either be installed low to support a desktop monitor with a keyboard underneath, or it can go above to make room for a laptop. The desk has two adjustable shelves below the workspace and a 17-inch CPU shelf that extends out from the side. It's like a big puzzle! Conveniently placed cutouts provide concealed cable management for a tidy appearance. Available in a combination ash veneer with Espresso finish and oak veneer with a Wheat finish, sleek red and black, or solid white, this unit requires only three minutes to assemble and a few seconds to disassemble. All Legaré furniture is backed by a three-year warranty. --Kara Karll
