Thanks to Flexispot for providing me with the desk reviewed in this post. This post contains affiliate links. I started a new full time job as a content writer at the end of September.

I've discovered that by simply screwing a few crates together with some wood screws and a screwdriver, I could put together functional and really sturdy shelving in a Continue reading...
