What a difference

Since we moved I've been using an old IKEA Norden gateleg table as the desk in my office - one of the leaves extended to have enough surface area, with a Vari stand up desk riser to hold my work laptop and accessories. I put some furniture movers under the main legs and would wrestle the table back and forth between two positions - one that left more floor space open but left me with a closet door as my camera background, and one that took up all the space, but left me with a nice bookshelf as the camera background. It worked, but it was clunky.

I'd looked at replacement options off and on, mostly off because of the ongoing supply issues (everyone needed desks suddenly!), but finally started looking seriously at options this past week, and picked a winner, which arrived this afternoon. It's enough table top to hold the riser if need be (though it doesn't need to because it's an adjustable height model), and most importantly it's on wheels so I can roll it around as the mood strikes. And without the riser it's big enough to hold both the work and personal laptops, which it's doing as I type this entry. Whee! Much less space taken up, better use of the office space, and no clunky table to slide around. Definitely makes a difference.
