warwickhunt Posted August 27, 2007 Author Posted August 27, 2007 Still got this desk and a matching chair, we've also had a bank Holiday 'tidy' and a desk that we have in the garage also needs to go! Size etc means that it'll need to be someone local with a small van or an estate car in 2 trips. As I said we also have a child sized chair to go with the smaller desk. The larger desk would be fine for a workroom/garage/shed etc. but it's been refinished/stained so isn't exactly showroom condition, though there is nowt wrong with it. It's got a brass inkwell, front draw and side cupboards. It all needs to go asap otherwise it's a trip to the tip.
warwickhunt Posted September 20, 2007 Author Posted September 20, 2007 Unfortunately I'm going to be smashing this up for firewood after the weekend so does anyone want it/them?
