dARE's CurvyDesk - Three-tile modern desk
When it comes to desks, I personally like lots of cubbyholes, shelves, hidden compartments, drawers, pencil slots, ink wells... any storage nook and cranny you can think of, I want it in my desk. That just shows my age, say some - the new style is bare, transparent, clean. I agree it looks nicer in some aesthetically pleasing ways, but what if I need to scribble out a mesh idea, take some measurements, make some notes? Drawers are the answer - I can't give up my pencil, paper, ruler, highlighter, etc., but I can keep them neatly tucked away.
So this is my attempt at a more modern, clean-looking desk. That I added drawers to in a panic.
There are 4 slots: one in the center of each tile on the desktop, and one extra deco slot on the lower drawer that can be used for a small plant or candle or whatever decoration /clutter you want. Please enjoy.
some technical info: cloned from Chiclettina Execudrone Desk(basegame), in-game price - 888, all textures are Maxis-manipulated in GIMP 2.8, 1388 faces
Known issues:
Computers only work in the center tile, for now.
Tools used:
SimPE, Blender 2.77, GIMP 2.8.22
Polygon Counts:
shadows - 8
glasstop - 108
base - 424
desktop - 828 (drawers, posts, & handles)
Additional Credits:
Thanks to the MTS community for all the resources and helpful folk, and to Delphy for holding it all together.
To Quaxi et al for SimPE
This is a new mesh, and means that it's a brand new self contained object that usually does not require a specific Pack (although this is possible depending on the type). It may have Recolours hosted on MTS - check below for more information.

About Me
I don't mind if you include any of these meshes with your lots**, as long as you provide a link to the original MTS page for the mesh. Posting my mesh on any site by itself, or claiming it as your own work, would be considered rude and a breach of my trust and love for you as a fellow simmer.
**Above policy does not apply to Remote Control Thing - it contains an NPC that could possibly corrupt a neighborhood when removed, and I doubt that downloaders would appreciate something like that hidden in a downloaded lot.
