Reddit mentions: The best food service furniture

Yup...I don't know if you have general space constraints either, but my last apartment had roughly 22" of available counterspace; I had to do all of my meal-prep on my dinner table...the price of living in the city I guess, lol. My current place has enough room for an upright deep freezer & a future second unit, but then I'm short on storage space for glass containers, not to mention it'd cost north of a thousand bucks to get all of the glassware I'd need, so...yeah, haha.

On a tangent, if you're looking for a bit more freezer storage space & surface work space & have the budget available, you can buy a compact chest freezer for around $200 (~7cf), then glue a large, standalone butcher block to it, so now you have extra freezer space AND an extra work surface. For example this:

Plus this: (you can DIY for waaaaay cheaper if you don't mind going hands-on)

Plus some Powergrab (a glue paste that glues anything to anything), and now you have a flip-top bonus freezer with a usable work surface! Anyway, yeah - we all have to make due with the resources we have available, and still need to use our available options even when they're not the best of the best available, but I also don't think we should have to feel guilty for making choices given our current circumstances!

I've been looking at getting a bigger desk too, and one thing I've been considering is assembling my own from parts on amazon. You can get a decent table top for 50-150, and table legs for 30-100, depending on style, size, and quality. I'll link the ones I'm thinking about ordering.

There are other options than these, but for less than $200, you can put together a pretty decent, good size desk for yourself.

Yeah my second ikea table has those. I'm thinking of replacing it with one of these:

with these legs:

You can buy them on amazon

Anyways. I found this on Amazon.
