Modular designs. I have a very odd shaped room and finding office furniture to fit around my other stuff is a nightmare. Design something modular, which copes well with corners and straight walls, and I'll be happy.
Something big and flat (with lots of room. My current desk is running out of space). No keyboard draws or crap like that. They suck.

Slick "form follows function" design. If I wanted a heap of randomly orientated wood pieces I would buy a heap of randomly orientated wood pieces. What I want is a simple, big, flat desk. If it consists of more than 6 pieces the designer failed. No, there are no exceptions to that rule.

11. Anymore needs for an office desk?
For the home desk, obviously I need to be able to clamp a wheel comfortably on it. Also, for study purposes, having an L-shaped or U-shaped desk is preferable, so I can have as many open sources (textbooks, notes, ect) as possible at once.
For the work desk, as I spend most of my time on the PC, it needs a CPU storage space on it, off the ground (I live in florida, and hurricane flood damage is bbbaaaddd for PC!), preferably with a cabinet door on the front (so I can open it to access my PC's drives), and wholely open in the back (not just a little hole. For temperature reasons, and for stringing wires). Desk height is important, because I'm a bit on the short side (5' 6.5", or 1.6891 meters), and I want the keyboard at a comfortable level (perhaps with a pullout keyboard thing, but that comprimises my wheel-at-work possibilities. I wouldn't mind it, because if it bugs me I'd removed/not install it...), but not my feet dangling from raising my chair so high I can reach said comfortable level.
