Why Change it?

 After King gets a his "fantasy desk, a massive oak slab" in the middle of his study place. sitting behind it for six years, he finally sobered up and got rid of the desk and ended up getting a smaller one and placing in in the corner of his study room, after realizing that "life isn't a support system for art. it's the other way around" (King 94). the placing of this desk represents him becoming somebody new.realizing what art is about. 
 Before he had his desk in the middle of the room but after sobering up he moved it to a corner after he realizing that the system of art supports life. Instead of having it in the middle, thinking life is art, he moves it to the corner meaning , art is life.
