One of the inevitable consequences of remodeling your home is that everything is subject to change. When you strip the walls bare and remove all furniture and knick-knacks, at least one-half of the marital unit views the room as a blank canvas, and in many cases, the old brushstrokes just won't do.

Thus I find myself working through a punchlist of to-do items that will result in the permanent re-location of my office from its years-old spot in our bedroom to our gameroom (where, frankly, I can't recall when we last actually played a game).

I'm not upset about the change. In fact, I like the idea and might have done it sooner had I not been overwhelmed by the thought of relocating all the equipment and wiring. But now that I've been forced by the remodeling project to do it anyway, the resulting setup is not bad...not bad at all.

However, the big issue is what to do with the old computer furniture...a massive hutch and desk that blended well in the bedroom setting but is (I'm told by a Competent Authority) completely inappropriate for the less formal environs of said game room. So, I'm trying to peddle it, hoping to recoup enough investment to afford at least a down payment on new furniture.

If you live in the Midland/Odessa area (I'm not shipping this 400+ pound behemoth) and you're in the market for some really nice computer furniture, take a look at this page (scroll down until you come to the Riverdale Desk & Hutch...that's the one). It'll give you all the specs and dimensions, plus some detailed photos.

I paid a shade over $2,000 for this furniture and would be quite satisfied with $800. I'll help you load it onto a trailer or pickup, and even go with you to unload it if you're within 25 miles.

Questions? Feel free to email me (the link is in the right-hand sidebar) or leave a comment here. And if you have any recommendations for some good casual modular computer furniture as a replacement, I'm open to suggestions. Thanks!
