A Real Dinner, Fast: 5 Favorite Types of Almost-No-Work Meals
How To Cook Tender, Chewy Wheat Berries on the Stovetop
I don't "work" from home, but I spend a lot of time in front of the computer. I would find it hard to sit at any of these desks for long periods of time.
Wife and I are moving soon(smaller place) and losing my desk is a big topic. Might be able to use dining table when not entertaining, if that even fits into our 180 sq ft living/dining.
Anyone actually use one of these to get anything done?
I find that the problem isn't so much finding a space to work at my laptop--the dining table and/or my actual lap work just fine--as finding a place to store our laptops and tablets while they charge, especially since we have a few (why are so many laptop desks designed for one laptop? Aren't there other families with multiple devices?) Right now, we're using the Ikea Stenstorp kitchen cart:

The shelves work well for stashing the computers and we use the drawer for extra hard drives, cords, etc.
In the past, I've used a legal-sized in/out paper tray to store laptops without stacking them directly on top of one another, but it's always been a tight fit. I have always wanted to find some method of storing multiple laptops vertically, so as to take up less space--any suggestions? Or is there a reason you shouldn't store a laptop on its side?
I'm not a very neat worker, so I imagine that -- if I ever owned such a desk -- my papers will spill all over the desk such that I would no longer be able to close it. And then it just becomes a not-so-hidden desk.
