      I actually have a mini workshop for making little shit. I made matching desks for my son and me 7 years ago. Even though my son beat the crap out of his and mine lost a load support, they are still standing better than any IKEA desk I have seen.

        I had an IKEA desk for three years before some movers damaged it in a cross country move. When they dropped it off the left hand side had snapped and they were like “that was like that when we picked it up.”

        So, I went out and got a new IKEA desk with the money from that and I’ve had that desk for eight or nine years now. It’s been moved between houses four times and has not had an issue.

          I was more referring to the abuse they have taken. I’m quite comfortable standing on them if needed.
