You actually do the tests? When I did PAT testing I just glanced at them. Not falling apart, probably ok, add sticker.

A contractor electrician once PAT tested and failed a 5V power supply due to an exposed *5 volt* wire, which he claimed was dangerous. I removed the red warning sticker, continued using it, and called him a moron. His response was something along the lines of "well I dunno, I just follow the instructions".

Actually probably all desks need it for support. A long piece of furniture needs some kind of support to keep it at right angles.

Not so easy to stop it there and even someone as stupid

as they do at their desks at work and so its less of a deal
for them to have to keep their legs together in that situation.

Still wrong, most obviously with dining room tables.


Those are much sturdier and expensive than desks.

Steel tubing is only used in schools,


Wrong, as always.


Never seen it elsewhere.

Plenty of tables are done that way and even someone
