Sometimes I will use something and realize I’ve owned it forever. It’s a nice change in our throwaway reality. I think my personal record is a bicycle multi-tool I got for one of my first bikes, ~25 years ago. Still have it, still use it. When it comes to electronic devices I have a Panasonic mini Hi-Fi from ~2005. Never felt like changing it.
What’s your record?
An ikea desk that I got shortly after graduating college. 13 years, over 3,000 miles, 5 apartments, and it’s definitely bowing a bit these days, but it’s still a desk, and it still works.
Been thinking of upgrading to a Secret Lab adjustable, but part of me just doesn’t want to say goodbye 🥲
I got a stealcase desk from a used office furniture place, it’s huge, rock solid, and only cost me $150. When I get tired of it, I’ll just replace the top. Legs are adjustable width so I could make it work anywhere.
You are going to need a credenza. A desk shaped credenza.
