Which Desk do you Like Best?

These are on sale now at World Market. I'm not in the market for a desk for myself, but I was curious to see which one suits your style the best.

@lolakimono Although I do not dislike any of them, I need more storage space for myself anyway, so I would pass on all of these.

I like both the desk and chair in #3, but I would choose #4 for the storage space.

I like #4. I could use the shelves like those for my printer, paper and a few files in small file box. I love the low-profile drawers...perfect for stuff like pens, note pads and smaller electronic chargers and drives that seem to get easily lost.

I really like #4 and #6, they both look kind of rustic and i love that.

Well I'm torn. Taking them as they are, I like #3 but in a larger size I love #6.

I'm actually looking for a new desk, and I like several so I just went to WM to look. Maybe I'm using their website wrong - they don't seem to provide measurement details. Also, the shipping on #6 looks to be $44.99 + $15.00 surcharge. The desk itself is reduced from $299. to $249.

There is somethng about free shipping in a banner, but I'm no longer curious enough to try to find out whether the actual cost with tax is in the high 200's or the middle 300's. I do have a desk that functions - it's ugly, but it's paid for!

For practical use, none of them. To me they're all about decor rather than function. None of these have keyboard trays or sufficient work space for me.

#3 and #4.......but i need a more comfortable supportive chair.

i can add lots of storage and organization in other parts of the room if then desk doesnt have much.

I like #6, it has a small footprint and it would actually work in my home.

I like desks & chairs w/wheels. Easier to move around.

My secretary & comp desk has wheels as well as their chairs.

Right now I am looking for a printer desk w/wheels. I have my eyes on this one....

@lolakimono

None of them are really my style, but if I had to choose one, as is, I would choose #4. It's a little rustic/industrial, and I could probably make it work in my transitional/traditional decor. I would replace the baskets with something more rustic. I would never choose the chair that's with it.

RE free shipping-

It looks like you can get free (regular) shipping, but they will tack on the $15 oversized fee. I can't apply the coupon until I check out though, so I can't say for sure. They are also on the rebates sites.

The details are there:
