Quality-built Martin Furniture computer desk needs new home!

This solidly-built desk was $2,000 at Costco Home.
No pressed wood here: the dark wood surface completely wraps the 3/4" non-warping plywood frame, including the back.

Heavy, dark brass drawer pulls. Smooth metal drawer slides.

Designed to be set up as L-shaped desk, but unlike many L-desks, can also be set up as 2 independent work stations.

Main desk is 68.25" wide x 32" deep x 29" tall. Has 3-drawer stack with a file drawer, plus 26" wide pencil drawer.

The right-hand return (or 2nd work station) is 48" x 20.75"; has a 35.5" keyboard tray with a built-in mouse pad; houses the computer garage, 2 cubby drawers.

Built-in surge protector/power strip, labeled "Martin Furniture", has 5 plug-ins plus phone and fax input.

There are a few scratches, but this is a very handsome desk. The consignor hates to part with it, but is moving out of the area.

Priced for a quick sale: See our current craigslist ad for pricing and availability.

Can't have pets where you live? Adopt Spike, the junk yard dog

Spike is a great dog to have around. Incredibly cute.
 Might scare away unwanted cats.

Spike can hold things for you when your hands are full.

Spike is always in a good mood. This is his happy face.

If he's still on this craigslist ad, Spike is still available.

Oh, and this is the vintage IKEA chair Spike sat on to have his picture taken
It's on craigslist, too.

Very cool and stylish. Plywood seat and back molded to a comfortable shape,
 painted tomato red, supported by snazzy metal frame.

Glorious clouds over Kenmore, April 2011

Waiting in the doorway to wave in a consignor who was finding us for the first time, I was blessed by the beauty of the April sky. Amazing that a little camera can capture such a good representation of this glory.
