  Only a dirt poor, malnourished Uni student would be trim enough to use this thing. The old mie goreng 2 minute noodle Uni diet… ahh.. the memories.

    I find it's useful to move around the house where a little something would be good. Next to the bed for the notebook or a little DVD player, the tv room as something to put food and drinks on, when I'm building the other furniture (to keep a few tools in handy reach without having to bend down all the time)

    shrug :)

    and I'm not a dirt poor student anymore :)

  Sounds like a deal, but from my experience, I wouldn't trust a Kmart home brand to support my laptop like depicted in that picture though..

    Wait a second how heavy is your laptop? If the wheels are locked in it would be totally fine. A big desktop setup wouldn't go down too well on a cheap table however.

    True; you'd probably want to see one assembled or check it out after buying it, before trusting it too far.

    I can't say if your standards are the same as mine. I decided, given my home situation etc, my notebook would be safe on the desk and that it would more than adequately hold up.

    So far I've had my notebook (3kg), a keyboard, a graphics tablet and a portable DVD player (2.5 kg) sitting on it all at once with no signs of buckling or bending.

    But agreed, it's up to each what they decide is acceptable risk, acceptable build quality, etc.

      3 tier 'mini' bookcase.

      SomeGuyOnOzB on 10/08/2011 - 00:55

      Thanks. I couldn't find the bookshelf :) I did find bedside tables. Price still said $10.

      There were also dispenser bottles for hand wash, on sale for $0.50 (1 dispenser and 1 extra base)
      Also some cream coloured light weight fleece throws for $2.50 (as well as others for $5. Coles also has $5 ones)
