My ''new'' desk?what do i do?

Question

my dad got a desk from my nan and i dont really like it.i dont use it often.all my frieds have cool desk and stuff in there room.what do i do

Answer 1

Strip it down and repaint/varnish it. Buy some nice cloth to go over it.  Cover it with clutter.  Sell it on ebay and get something newer.

Don't hang out with frieds. It will give you spots.

Answer 2

"Cool" desk?  A desk is a desk.

Answer 3

Buy a throw from a charity shop and you'll have a good base to put stuff on.  If you don't want to use it for your computer, then put a few candles on it and maybe some photos or a vase of dried flowers.

Answer 4

Dear me!  Just paint or decorate the thing how you want, it's not difficult.  If you want a cool desk, use a fan. And stay clear of frieds.

Answer 5

Hmm i don't really understand your issue,a desk is a desk like the person above said.

Just decorate it with stickers,lights,your stuff or whatever (:

Answer 6

Maybe your parents thought you needed one and couldn't afford a new one so your Dad did the next best thing. Live in the world of reality my girl. You can't have everything on demand.

When you grow up and have kids of your own you will soon realise it's not a world of gimme, gimme.

Especially with the cost of living going through the roof and will do for the next ten years. Just think yourself lucky with what you have got. There are a lot more preople a lot worse off than you are.

Answer 7

Tell your friends its a valuable antique...

If its an old one.  It will / has lasted longer than any 'new' one you would buy from Argos etc.

If its real wood then its better than new ones that are made from MDF etc which have chemicals slowly leaching out of them.

Answer 8

undo a few screws put sumthing really heavy on it watch it collaps. then tell ur parents its a death trap n u want a nice new safe 1. show them sum "cool" 1s in the Argos mag so they know what u have in mind and the price range.

Answer 9

Do it up with paint or use it for other use.

for example use put your computer on it and then it should look better.

Answer 10

Bardic, you are hilarious my fried. Whoops, I mean friend.

Answer 11

you could trade  it  for another desk  at your local  pawn shop

Answer 12

Think yourself lucky to get a desk even if ir is second hand, don't look the gift horse in the mouth,also if your parents see you not using the desk,they might think that you don't really need one so by that thinking they iether take away the desk and do not get you a nice shiney new one, use tha one you now have and later you might get that shiney "cool"  desk, remember you can't always get what you WANT  but you can always get what you NEED

Answer 13

I don't think you should be ashamed of your desk. If you don't use it often then they aren't going to waste money on a nice desk that you're never going to use.
