先看简短解释

Boys vs girls: choosing a desk plant

To decide where to put something with another person, start with "Let's take a look." Then ask "Where should we put it?" so the choice belongs to both of you. When you like the plan, say "That works for me." Between the question and the agreement, you can suggest a place with "How about...?" or ask for an opinion with "What do you think?"

逐句讲解

Let's take a look. 语气: Casual and curious

Use it before you decide, when you want to check a place, an object, or a problem first. It sounds relaxed, so it's less suitable for a serious inspection at work, where "Let's review this" may fit better.

“Let's take a look.”

出自Hannah and Her Sisters (1986)
Where should we put it? 语气: Friendly, open question

Ask this to share the choice with someone, for example with a roommate, a partner, or a coworker. Don't use it when the decision is only yours and you just want help carrying something.

“Where should we put it?”

出自A Heartland Christmas (2010)
That works for me. 语气: Clear, calm agreement

Say it to agree with a plan, a time, or a place. It is polite and neutral, so it fits both work and home. It can sound a little flat if the other person shares exciting news.

“That works for me.”

出自A Christmas Wish (2011)
What do you think? 语气: Open and respectful

Use it after you share an idea and want the other person's opinion. Don't ask it if you have already decided and won't change your plan.
How about by the window? 语气: Light, friendly suggestion

Use "How about...?" to suggest a place or an option without pushing. Change the end to fit your idea, such as "How about on the shelf?"
I'd rather keep it on the desk. 语气: Polite, gentle preference

Use "I'd rather" to disagree softly and give your own choice. Add a short reason so the other person doesn't feel rejected.

常见错误

不太合适 ~~Where we should put it?~~

更合适的说法 Where should we put it?

In a direct question, "should" comes before the subject "we." Keep the normal order only inside a longer sentence, such as "I'm not sure where we should put it."
不太合适 ~~That works with me.~~

更合适的说法 That works for me.

The fixed phrase uses "for." "Works for me" means the plan is good for you or suits you.
不太合适 ~~Let's take a looking.~~

更合适的说法 Let's take a look.

"A look" is a noun here, so it doesn't take -ing. You can also say "Let's look," but "take a look" sounds more natural and relaxed.
