Do what Dwight Schrute could not: build a long-lasting MegaDesk.

2018-11-29 02:07:06 +0000 UTCI had a teacher in the mid-aughts telling us that the open floorplan had been popular in the past but nobody wanted to have to keep their dishes washed constantly and now we liked walls again. But when actually house-hunting for myself and for relatives, it looks like at least the people who flip houses are still adamantly in the "slap it all together" camp (and they all use that stupid gray glass mosaic wall tile blend). I can't live with that; I've inherited too much furniture and it needs walls behind it. There are six desks in my living room. I need many, many walls. Can't make an island of desks. (COULD I MAKE AN ISLAND OF DESKS?)
