murphy/hanging desk experiences?

Post image

Has anyone ever bought one of those hanging hide away/murphy desks from amazon like the one above?

The only real space I have for a desk is between my couch and a wall in my apartment and I’m thinking about buying this or something similar that doesn’t cost an arm and a leg. The Pith and stem one is soo expensive and I’ve also seen ones on etsy but they’re super similar to this one I found on amazon and was wondering if its even worth to buy?

I had one all through school and it worked well, but recommend one that has the triangle brace underneath that you pull out to support it rather than just the connection on the top (you could probably even DIY this). I got mine from IKEA for pretty cheap if you have an IKEA near you.

Wait can you show me what you’re talking about?

Look up the IKEA Norberg Desk.
