Old desk and chair
The desk you see in the above image was already old and definitely less than pristine condition when I got almost five or six years ago after someone left it behind when they moved out of the apartment building where we live. The chair was one that my wife bought for me from a local second hand store about three years ago now and it has served me well in that time.
But, as with all things there comes a point when you just need to replace the old and broken with something new and with the help of my great wife Kim we went shopping for a new desk and chair the other day. It took a little bit but following my wife’s excellent taste I ended up with a new desk and chair that I am more than happy with.
The only downside was that I had to put both of them together on my own as you can tell by the fact that they came in boxes, heavy boxes at that.
Arrival
Taking the easy way out, and so I’d have somewhere to sit while putting the desk together the chair was the first thing to be unboxed and put together.
All in pieces
It didn’t take long though to get it altogether, and with no parts left over – amazing.
Next up was the desk and that took the better part of the day but it definitely suits the room now it is altogether.
All together and no bloody knuckles to be seen
Yup, I think it looks good
Lookin’ good… always fun to get new gear.
Is that an African or Polynesian decoration theme going on?

Nice setup. I nearly forgot all about this place. And a comment from Webomatica no less… Just like old times.
