| Places to buy office desks?
I can only think of Staples, Office Depot, and Grand&Toy. Anyone knows any other places (preferably in Vancouver area) that sells office desks? Not considering IKEA.
Thanks in advance. Posted via RS Mobile |

look in the 24/metro.
There are always advertisements for furniture places.
I bought a sofa from ikea for $500. a few weeks later I was browsing the 24 and saw an ad for the exact same sofa for $250. I'm sure they have desks there.
I would look there

for best quality and best price, get a used one from craigslist. I tried to give mine away on craigslist FOR FREE. I couldn't even get rid of it. Had there been enough people looking on CL and intersted, i could've gotten good money for it, as it was a great desk!

JYSK has some decent ones for less.
IKEA would be the best bet, but you want to stay away.
If you're considering Staples, the one across from Metro has more selections on the top floor.
Good luck!

This is a pretty fail thread...Do you know how many places sell Office Desks?
Almost EVERY furniture store sells desks, most office supply stores sell them, and I think most department stores sell them as well. Of course Costco sells them and same with Wal Mart...London Drugs does them on custom order and the Brick also sells them...  | |

If only this were posted earlier. I just paid a junk company to haul away 2 really nice, mint office desks...
That being said, call a junk hauling company and tell them you're in the market - I told the company I dealt with that they could have ours if they wanted them. The 3 toothed wonder doing the hauling said they have so much nice shit corporations like mine simply throw away that they couldn't be bothered.. I'm sure anyone in the market would pay them more than the recyclers do... might be worth a shot?

I guess I should've clarified a couple of things but was too lazy since I was using my cell. Regardless, I have some ideas now, thanks guys.
