Wanted: workstation (desk and chair)
July 13, 2011, 08:32:08 pm
Looking to get hold of a desk and decent chair that my girlfriend can use to do her dissertation from.

She's just moved in with me in Nether Edge and doesn't want to spend the time lugging her laptop and books up to the uni every day of the week.

Not looking for a massive office-style thing (my flat ain't that big), just something big enough to have a laptop and a few papers on, but a decent office-style ergonomic chair would be good.

Free would be ideal is it's only needed for 3 months, or would happily take on loan :), or consider cheapish options

If anyone can help out then it would be massively appreciated

Cheers

Andy

There's a fairly cheap second hand furniture store on Abbeydale Road just out of town from the Broadie, always loads of office stuff there. In fact I'm sitting on one of their chairs right now.

Shouldn't you have bought it first?

Have a decent desk and executive style swivel chair you can have as long as you can collect it. PM me.

Failing that there are a few cheap used office furniture stores just down from the Foundry.

More to the point I should have left the shop before closing time.

I've just driven down Abbeydale road and can confirm that Grimer is still sitting in one of their chairs in front of the shop with a shotgun across his lap; next to him is an inbred looking kid playing a banjo.

I though Falling Down had sold his banjo :)

And I'm not going anywhere until they knock another 50p of that set of in-trays! The same goes for Cleatis.

As it happens, to day I saw:

That your man is selling his office chairs for £19

A free office chair sat outside somebody's house on Empire Rd, nether Edge

I have an appointment later with a man from here about a potential home office suite. But if that goes wrong I'll go via Empire Road on the way home.

Incidentally there's a free child scooter going outside my house on Kenwood Park Road, as modelled by besuited Swiss businessmen throughout Switzerland
