I finally settled on a new desk. It's really very different from what I *thought* I wanted, which was more of an Imposing Desk of The Nerd (+2 Int, +2 Spirit). I stumbled upon this one online literally the day before we went to the cheerfully evil, wallet draining flatpack store.

I have a weakness for clever, multipurpose objects. I was musing over solving the space problem in the 'computer room' by wedging a desk into the wardrobe. I also wanted to buy a chest of drawers. I'd decided that all those homes on Apartment Therapy *really* achieved their zen unclutteredness by less furniture, not more, and an abundance of storage space for their stray widgets and technocrap.

This desk is a modern version of the classic secretary desk, and the second monitor sits on top pretending to be a tv. I can control my laptop via my bluetooth kb and mouse.
