I disagree. I lived in a house with a lot of poor people furniture. My desk during most of my school years was a wobbly, torn, foldable, card table. It was cheap, shit and poorly made.

It is likely now, for the same price or less, to be able to purchase a sturdy Swedish Flatpack desk around the same size. Even less or free second hand as overseas students return home.

Neither would be considered "heirloom" but the latter is far better suited to the task.
