i had bought this before leaving for iowa, but did not have time to assemble it and "settle in" before hitting the road. i had to dust it all of before beginning the assembly process, it sat around our dusty house for so long... but it's together and it feels nice. the desk is a bit higher than the card table i was using for the computer so it helps my posture. a bonus, i think!
i'm trying to post a picture from ikea's website but blogger ain't having it today. so here's a dandy little link :)
and here's my version. it would look much more organized with some woven baskets hiding all my stuff but those are an extra $16 each so that won't be happening soon.
i haven't even filled up all the cubbies yet!! i stole the lamp from my husband who wasn't really using it anyway (despicable me!) and now the top of my armoire is practically empty.
the rug at the bottom rocks, yes?? i swear i'm NOT 80 years old, but i do have cold toes 90% of the time.this whole "workstation" (as IKEA terms it) was $119. if i ever decide i hate the desk part, i can disconnect it and still have the cubbies to use either vertically or horizontally.
we live about 5 miles from ikea, this may not be a good thing.

Ooooh, love it! I've been spending WAY. TOO. MUCH. TIME. on the Ikea website lately, looking at (and pricing) furniture for my new apartment. I love the look of that desk & bookshelf!
