Splurge vs. Steal: Minimalist Desks
By

Published Wednesday, April 01, 2009
These two versatile desks are simple enough to fit almost anywhere in your home.
Splurge
West Elm’s Parsons Desk is a master of disguise: In your foyer, it’s a modern front-hall table; in your home office, it’s a minimalist desk. Two slim drawers provide storage. Available in polished wheatgrass, white, black, or chocolate, the Parsons Desk costs $299.
West Elm, 1020 G St. NW, 202-347-8929; Tysons Corner, McLean, 703-633-0227.
Steal
IKEA’s Mikael desk is similarly streamlined. Available in black/brown or birch, this desk can be combined with add-on units to increase storage and desk space. And at $79.99, you won’t feel guilty buying cute desktop accessories.
IKEA, 10100 Baltimore Ave., College Park, 301-345-6552; 2901 Potomac Mills Circle, Woodbridge, 703-494-4532.
