Looking for an oak table

Hello Chris, in the past I had a typists desk it was made of oak but

had to get rid of it owing to lack of space, may be just what you need Try office furniture supplier they may have some old stock, offices see to want all chrome and plastic now. MB

Suggest that you find your local furniture/antiques auction and check out what they have on a regular basis. The prices for that kind of furniture tend to be pretty reasonable.

Regards, Tony

Thanks for the thoughts. I've been checking our local sale rooms for several months, but haven't found anything. The only tables I can find which fit my requirements are advertised online at very high prices. I was just wondering if anyone here knew of any dealers or sale rooms which get this kind of table regularly.

I guess I could build one, but I'm more of a metalworker than a woodworker. I haven't done any woodwork for a long time.

Best wishes,

Chris

Have you tried 'freecycle'?

See

Abbess office desk?

I had one but threw away everything apart from the top. you're welcome to that if you want to build some legs under it.

You could try this place. They seem to have reasonable prices on the less exotic items, and have the big advantage that you can see both upcoming sales (with guide prices) and prices paid in earlier auctions on their website.

That place is a bit far away, but I'll keep an eye on their website.

I e-mailed my local FreeCycle group to see if they have any suggestions.

Thanks for the help!

Chris
