    Gosh, some of that looks expensive and ugly.

    I remember in the first .com bust, there was a glut of luxury office
    furniture from goofy failed startups. Goodwill refused to take any
    more furniture donations.

    I expect that AI will have the same effects.

    I need two workbenches for my kids in our new design center.

    Ikea used to make this one

    which was fabulous, but it's been discontinued.

    I did move mine over, along with my solid wood desk and my massive old
    drafting table and my Tek 11802, which I can't even move. It took 9
    movers most of the day, for $6K. Plus tips, which was all the cash
    that we had.

    Here is my new office:

    6K$ is a lot, even in inflated US dollars these days...

    Think maybe it's time to get a new PC? That one uses a real mouse.

    My desk is an old 1960s-era Teacher's desk, purchased for $10 from a
    school that was updating. Very similar to this one: https://www.pinterest.com/pin/439804719839252490/ although my center
    drawer lacks handles. Solid yellow pine throughout; sturdier than
    anything on the market today, I think.

    For a workbench, I have two of these dining room tables from the local
    (now defunct) This End Up scratch-and-dent store: https://thisendup.com/Classic-Medium-Solid-Wood-DRT/ The tops are
    several inches thick. Solid wood, I think yellow pine again. Buying
    them with cosmetic flaws saved me a bundle; I think I got them for under
    a hundred each. But it's been a few decades.

    Pretty sure you could park a truck on any of these.
