<p>the lightbulbs i mentioned were for my daughters desk lamps. she had her desk under the bed, so without lamps, it would have been a total cave.</p>
<p>most of the rest of the lighting is florescent, i think, and you wouldn’t be responsible for that.</p>
<p>as far as the furniture. it is not the same in every dorm, similar maybe, but not exact.</p>
<p>here is the link to Quirky site…lots of good ideas</p>

<p>Does anyone have the measurements for the desk chair in RCS-N? Trying to decide between no chair cover, buying a cover or whipping one out on the old Singer machine…</p>
<p>my son is insisting on a new desk chair…hated the one in the dorms. Anyone else dealing with that?</p>
<p>let him pay for it. then see how much he has to have it.</p>
<p>i think the desk chair is kind of dumb, too, but daughter didn’t mind it at all and i think it was pretty comfortable.</p>
<p>I got a new desk chair because I couldn’t deal with the one provided. It was a great move, worth every penny of the 50 bucks it cost. If you keep the little hex tool it most likely will come with, you can dismantle it and put it in storage at the end of the year.</p>
<p>Office Max has this chair for $79.99 with $70 back in MaxPerks (a credit to be used later at OM) starting Sunday, 7/29. </p>

<p>Does anyone have the width of the closet in the Riversides?</p>
<p>@ Class of 2012 mom…what is the clearance under the desk? are you sure this chair will fit? seems like a great deal, may have to get S one of these :)</p>
<p>Sorry if this is a dumb question, but my daughter wants a new chair also We are not sure what we would do with the existing chair. Can we give it back to housing?</p>
<p>i don’t think so. but idk for sure.</p>

<p>“Effortless 1-touch seat-height adjustment” - so you can make it as high or low as needed. I didn’t measure the desk clearance (but I could when we move in if it would be helpful)</p>
<p>As for moving the provided chair out of the room, IIRC all provided furniture must be kept in the dorm room. Maybe it can be bungee-corded to the bottom of the bed or tucked away somehow else.</p>
<p>Sorry I wasn’t clear in my question, what I was trying to ask is if it would fit under due to it’s width not height… do you know the chair dimensions with or without its arms compared to the width of the opening for the chair?</p>
<p>The desk is 25 3/4" from side to side total (the whole desk, not just the opening).</p>
<p>The chair says
Backrest Dimensions 19" W x 21-1/2" H
Overall Dimensions 25-1/2" W x 27-1/2" D x 40" H
Seat Dimensions 19" W x 18" D</p>
<p>I have a photo of a chair and desk in the dorm and even from this clear shot it’s hard to see how wide the walls of the desk are. I would guess it’s not going to push all the way under but that’s only a guess.</p>
<p>Office Max has another chair with a full rebate in OM reward dollars this week. Seems to be nicer than last week’s chair. </p>

<p>the sides of the desk are pretty narrow i think. think the thickness of a piece of sturdy plywood or laminate.</p>
<p>There is a bar on the bottom of the desk that will likely keep the chair from pushing all the way in.</p>
<p>Y’all know YOU are not going to college, right? ;)</p>
<p>I think they’re just excited about their student’s impending move in. I don’t see any harm in it really if it makes them happy.:)</p>
<p>I am celebrating the opportunities for my son, the new friends he and I have made and the fact that my guest bathroom will stay company clean while he’s away!</p>
