100% serious, does anyone know where I can get a desk like the ones in pic related? I already have a main desk but an extra one with a top level shelf would be great

holy kek
just build a shelf above your station
another boomer quirk:
we all used to have one
for manuals and floppies
i mean, i was a child at that point
but boomer battlestation used to be pc
fax
scanner
printer
telephone
and the storage associated with that all around, including a top shelf

None of it is particularly good looking, but you associate old tech with better, simpler times and looking at it makes you momentarily relive that

wrong
back then they were built to last and appeal to a wide audience because actual effort was put into production instead of 8 cents parts from china like today

That thing in OPs pic is the epitome of cheap chink shit. That era was the time when all those kind of devices had become as cheap to produce as they ever were. The absolute cheapest shit Hong Kong components.

Because everything requires an App and appliances are designed to be thrown out, further this, design elements are centred around female and gynocentric ideas. Hard, rugged, long-lasting, repairable quality are negative traits in such a world.

They either are not from the era and think it looks cool without understanding how shit it was. Like that extra bass button. Not sure why it existed, cause it sounded like shit if you didn't have it on. If you are from that era then you are just trying to remember some happy day, because your current life is bad. Not because of old tech.

You guys remember when music labels were able to convince an entire generation of parents to buy 30 seconds of a song for their kid that required a specific audio player for 10 bucks a pop?
