Price is right, but office furniture will take up an entire room in a house.
“Never looks right”, isn’t just scale.
The “furniture” I described early in thread one fits to only a part of the room.
When it’s time to remove it one only need fill a few screw holes.
In a kitchen I added bead board as wainscoting to meet just below a desktop affixed to two walls. This defined the dining area by extending towards work area of kitchen to first kitchen counter. Floor changed also.
One entered and to left desktop extended from that doors wall to farther wall where the bead board went past framed window.
No door interference. And no change to traffic flow (office furniture in house problem).
I could work, and had that large window to my right to keep from staring at wall
This was in an upper garage apartment. Good thing that landlord liked me AND the work, ha!
When I moved out he moved his daughter in (had 17-18 multi-unit properties). Refunded part of final months rent for improvements (also a unit in bedroom). I had done a lot of other work besides.
Point is, you know already how you like to “work”. Same here in buying and using plywood sheet plus 2x4.
Just finish sanding & painting afterwards. Half-round on edges.
A nice trick learned is to paint ceiling lightest shade of wall paint color from Pantone chart. Did desk same light shade. Hid electrical in conduit up to underside.
Already had an overhead light fixture. I’d have added a LUXO articulated drafting table lamp.
Think about where you’ll place a USN ships radio room clock. (ground-pounder radioddity unleashes his inner squiddity )
“The center” is the big decision.
