Yesterday Erich at work came over and told me and another co-worker about a desk that a company (Orange Soda) across the hall from us was selling. Erich heard about it because he knows a few of the people over at the company from another company that they all use to work at. They recently moved there and had some extra furniture that they were no longer using. The desk that we bought is an IKEA desk that they purchased from IKEA’s website for $135. They sold it to us for $35, a pretty sweet deal! It is our first piece of IKEA furniture, and I’m pretty happy with this one. It is fairly simple and easy to put together, I had to take it most of the way apart to transport it to our house. It is also quite sturdy, especially for the original price. This may not be a desk that we keep forever since it doesn’t really match anything else that we have, but it is better than the plastic table she was using before! Now we just need to get her a new chair, luckily we might have a hook-up on some nice new chairs in the next couple months.
