Maybe a corner desk for the desktop/laptop. Either a fold out mirror or one that can go on the wall. A tall but skinny chest of drawers should finish it off.
Yea long term (because I'm not buying anything now) I'll get a sofabed I saw this perfect small wall unit in ikea that had shelves for storage CDs DVDs etc but it only fit a 32inch tv darn ! But I'll keep lookin I'm goin to add as I go along. I already have a little computer workstation that I'll bring on Saturday just need a tv stand for right now

Is the D-line really that small? I am thinking of at least 300sqft of living space (excluding bath room). My living room is 15x17. I can't imagine if any Silver Towers studio is smaller than that.

Go to silvertowers.com an check out the floorplans. They crammed a lot of apts into one space I figure to get more money. So the studios are very tight the biggest is the g line an that is probably smaller than ur avg studio. But check out the website

I did check out the floor plan. It doesn't show measurements, may be for reason.

Yea when i first started checking out the floorplans at silvertowers months ago I wondered why there were no measurements or photos of the units. Now I know lol. Everything is very narrow even some of the 1bdrm living rooms are tight. My friend ended up with a 1bdrm on the L line which IMO is the best line I tell her everyday to be thankful !!

This is so crazy why put so many apartments on one floor!! The freight elevator is located in the back of the south tower next to the garbage chute. I'm anxious to see the apartment pics I'm really hoping its not that small.

Hey does anyone know how or when the 500 from moving fee is coming back to you? That's more money they took from us.

In case you damage something when you're moving in. They'll use it to repair the damages. If no damages, the check won't be cashed. If you were using professional movers, they would have to give management their insurance information. If you tell them you're using professional movers, they wouldn't ask for the move in fee.

Lmfao !!! OK ! We're on the same page LOL !

I want to join club 7..but the fact that we have to pay the 750$ in total up front hurts me. Thats a lot of cash to dish out up front like that. But thats definitely in my plan.

Verizon !!! I know they're more expensive...but since I lived in manhattan my entire life i've had to deal with Time warner and their b.s. and im sooo sick of them. LOL ! Im always having a problem with them. Im sure Verizon isnt perfect..but I really want a change
