9 year old grandson has asked for a desk!!!

Let's see what we can come up with! Hanukah and Christmas soon, so have some thinking to do!

1. My favorite desk finds have been at ReStore

Habitat for Humanity seems to get the best desk donations, in my experience.

2. Excellent, it's a good sign

5. Yes it is!

Gotta find out what he has in mind.

Just a thought

6. Thanks, will find out whether that's in his mind.

Wondering, thinking of 'similar' to school desk, or other.

I'm storing my roll-top from first apartment I had in Chicago, and he may have seen it. He may of course be thinking of TABLE I'm also storing, wood and used it in DC kitchen.

Thanks to kids for giving us things to think about!

7. He still loves his doggie. :)

8. Be sure it's a kid-sized (or better, adjustable size) desk, even if he will outgrow it.

If it's the wrong size, he won't enjoy using it.

When we were little (preschool for me) out parents bought us a desk just for kids, with a chalkboard top and a strip to hold magnetic letters. The top was also a lid, of course. Good for playing even when you haven't learned to write (well). We outgrew it pretty quickly, but I first used it when I was too young to even remember using it. All in all, a good investment.

9. I'm assuming his parents have or will have useful info

on what he wants and NEEDS; SO many options!
