I made a desk. I wanted it deep enough and wide enough for my PC monitors, huge mousepad and keyboard. Also I wanted it to be relatively easy to move so that it wouldnt be a one huge piece like my old was.

So drawers and PC desktop slot are the stands for the desk top which is just dropped in its place without any screws. Its heavy enough to hold perfectly still.

I also painted the top black so it would conseal all the cables a little. And I actually fabricated the cable holder from steel rods (part of my assignment) underneath the desk top so I can have an extension cord for monitors etc in there instead of it being on the floor.

I was studying to become a teacher (in Finland) and I could make it as an assignment for my crafts class. So I didnt pay any of it (studying is also free up here). As a student I couldnt afford a table that nice and probably I couldnt have found one with those specifications either. So it was and is perfect.

Its now ten years ago and its still going strong. Though now I have no time to game because we have a baby and my wife wouldn't want the desk to stay since its so huge. But it stays. And yeah I also made a full oak dining table which would cost a lot finished. The wood wasnt cheap either. It has similar specs: sized big enough and made relatively easy to take apart and move. Its heavy!

I recommend a Finnish shop Varusteleka and their own Särmä brand jeans and work pants. They deliver over the world and they are truly amazing quality. Though not cheap they are worth the money I think.

I bought two pairs of Särmä worker pants for work and I use them daily and change for the clean pair from time to time. I am crafts/wood working teacher in primary school. I have used them for three years! I dont think they are worn at all now that I think about it. So they are quite amazing. Fully recommend. They also have women cut jeans as well.

Edit. I also recommend Särmä leather belt. Its as awesome.

With that price I dont think you can achieve a "built to last product" if its not vintage or used.
