STFU Dude asked:


I’ve been to office supply stores, consumer furniture stores, everywhere. I cannot find a non-sucky desk. Here is my criteria:

(1) All wood construction.

(2) No mandatory keyboard tray, no “monitor stand”. Just a surface.

(3) No lip around the front to bump my legs.

(4) Kind of high up.

(5) No “knick knacks” - no CD holders are random surfaces where your legs are supposed to. Just 4 legs and a surface.

Where should I be looking?

I need to buy a new office/computer chair, but I want to purchase one that won’t outgass chemicals. Help?

Drake asked:


These days, most office chairs are constructed of a veritable slew of carcinogenic and neurotoxic chemicals, that continue to outgass for years after purchase. Since having cancer doesn’t appeal to me, I’d like a chair that will not outgass these things. At local office supply and furniture stores, would I be able to find any chairs that will be safe to use? What kind should I look for?
