$2 Desk

During our grand excursions yesterday, we stopped by goodwill for shits and giggles. In the furniture area there were a few beat up desks, each one had a tag that said 1.99. I thought that was a mistake, so I asked a cashier and he verified that they were all indeed, 1.99! There was a sad, wobbly one, a simple small one and an exquisite dark wood desk missing its key board pull-out. I melted over it, but it was not going to fit in the car, so we settled for the small and simple desk. Of course, we had overestimated the size of the car and a wonderful man came to our rescue with his allen wrenches and helped us disassemble and load up our little desk.

Now, the man insisted we go to the dollar tree right next to goodwill and purchase a set of wrenches for ourselves.
We were going there anyway, so why not! I was completely mesmerized by the halloween section, I filled up a bucket and headed for the line. The same gentleman was in line ahead of us and said "Did you get your wrenches?" My jaw dropped, I said "Holy crap, I totally forgot! Thank you!!" He pointed down the aisle where the tools were. We grabbed the cheap tool and headed back toward the line as he walked out. What an angel :)

Haha, anyway.

I got the desk home and my computer did not fit under the shelf. Because of our nice friend, I had a strike of genius! I removed the top shelf completely which left the right side shelves without a top. So, I removed the side plank and hot glued it to the top of the little shelves, leaving the monitor area open. Excuse the mess:

Of course the top is crooked and uneven, but it works and I'm happy! A $2 desk!!!
