$10 LAND FILL RESCUE DESK

This desk maybe the roughest piece of used furniture we have ever bought, this one needed HELP!! big time.
But it had this great oak top that we knew could be beautiful again with a little work.

Look at the bottom drawer??? why would any one put the pull so low??


Here it is, what a difference. the top was stripped back and stained with english chestnut stain and a $5 Goodwill chair was stained and painted to match the desk which was painted Onyx Black and the desk top also was polyurethaned in a satin finish.



The top drawers had locks that would turn but the keys didn't come with the desk, darn. We also painted the inside of the drawers gloss black because they were really nasty.




This desk really looks great.





The chair all by it's self looks awesome.























We are really glad we rescued this great looking desk.
