Are you going off to college and have limited space in what your college calls a dorm room? The Convertible Compact Desk from Crate and Barrel is maybe the perfect solution for those tight spaces. It looks like a 30″ cabinet at first but then transforms into a 55″ full-size desk. Slide its top panel and suddenly you have a table top and a leg. When slid open, cubbies and other storage compartments become exposed and cord cutouts allow for wire maintenance to charge gadgets. The birch veneer and deep ebony stain make this an impressive piece but it doesn’t come cheap at $499 but hey it looks alot better than IKEA pressed wood….
