    My spine is fine. I seem to be blessed with wealth as well as health, unlike some God botherers, though

              the price yes, but I like the design or atleast it's sort of in the right direction of enough space for 2 monitors with a seperate area for writing but it is a bit "executive/director/head of a large multi national corporation" ish

                Well I'm more practical - as someone noted a desk is just a big flat surface. Not worth paying too much for. Whereas a chair affects you mentally amd physically so worth coughing up for that.

                    I disagree.

                    - a desk needs to be big enough for your requirements but also not look out of place in the space its in
                    - the correct height to fit your desired chair
                    - the correct depth so that it can fit the monitors / keyboard etc and not feel too cramped.
                    - you're unlikely to buy many work desks in your life and so it should also be of a style that isnt going to look dated a few years down the line
                    - the material should ideally fit its surroundings i.e a dark mahogany desk isn't going to look very good surrounded by pine bookshelves
                    - it needs to be sturdy and not fall to bits in a year

                    lots of things to think about

                      Yes, after thousands of years of using chairs made out of bits of wood, suddenly we need a space-age £1000 chair for a poor little backs.

                      Alternatively you're a tosser with more money than brains and they saw you coming. Although even if you were a pauper you'd still have more money than brains...

                      HTH.
