Nice mobile computer desks?

January 30, 2024 9:38 AM

Can you recommend a "nice" mobile computer desk?

I need a small-ish mobile computer desk for my desktop computer (and not much else). It's been a few years since the last time this question was asked, and given the dearth of answers then, I'm gonna re-up it now. All the options on Wayfair and Walmart and similar look like absolute garbage, and many also seem like they'd fall apart almost immediately. This beefy boy looks nice but seems like it's probably a little too solid for the task at hand. I'd like something that will last a few years, and that doesn't look like I stole it from the lobby of a La Quinta in 1997. Anything you've got experience with that you'd recommend? Thanks!

I was looking at rolling carts the other day, and was surprised at how many varieties are available at Office Depot. These won't all fit your needs, but there are quite a few to browse, so some might work for you? Sorting by weight capacity will get you some of the more solid options.

(relatedly, the term 'cart' seems to hit more results than 'mobile desk')

Costco has a nice height-adjustable desk that has motors that go brrr and charging ports.

Not sure if this rolling table/desk would fit the bill, but I love it so much I have three of them (2 white/large, 1 black/small) in separate rooms.

The large are probably big enough for a desktop box, as long as it's not a monster.

Best answer: I had this when I lived in a house with a covered patio, it was my all-purpose garden/laptop/craft type table. I miss it.

Response by poster: Thanks y'all. Lyn Never that looks totally passable and has all the specs I'd otherwise need, so I'm gonna give it a try!
