small spaces

My home office is complete.

New all-in-one printer.

Finally, I have added a printer, scanner, and copier to my home office. A few years ago, I bought a brother’s printer brand, and I was never able to get my laptop to recognize it. I wasn’t very keen to get burnt again, so I did my research this time. I wanted something simple to set up and small enough to fit in a small space. This one is perfect. It’s wireless, so I don’t have to waste port space for it, and it is connected to my wifi in two simple steps. I also opted to take the deal on ink so that I get free ink for 6 months, and then each month after that, it will cost only $2.99

The ink colors pop out with the test page, it isn’t smudged, and the machine didn’t try to eat the paper. Initially, I wasn’t sure that it would hold the paper I’ve already got, but you can load it with a decent amount. I don’t think this thing would be able to print a massive amount at one time, but for a home office, this is perfect.

This desk is essential for small spaces.

About a month ago, I bought a desk for my apartment because I was tired of using a cardboard box (literally) as a computer stand.” I wanted to get a desk that was small enough to not take up a ton of room, but I also needed something that could hold more than just a laptop.

This desk can hold a 17″ screen laptop with room to spare.

This desk fits in my bedroom without making the space feel cramped, and I even have enough room that I was able to purchase a computer chair to go with it. I also wanted something that would give me the option to stand up if I wanted to. One of the local ads around here talks about how “sitting is the new standing,” so I thought it best that I make an effort at being a little bit healthier. I stand just under 5’7, and this desk is perfect for me. It has wheels that you can lock in place, and it is super easy to adjust the desk’s height. I also love how easy it was to put the thing together. I’m not much for construction, no matter how small the task, but I was able to put this together in under an hour, and I didn’t need any help other than the instructions that came in the box. This desk has a handy shelf underneath the main table, and it’s wide enough to hold books, headphones, etc.

The shelf is more than capable of holding multiple items.

I’m so glad that I went with this desk over the other advertised ones. It doesn’t tip towards me, but I’m not looking to use this for drawing or for using a tablet. If I owned a clinic for nearly any specialty, I would use multiple desks just like this one.
