Not really woodworking, but an assembly project for my daughter. She has been working from home since the covid stuff started and has been working on a small foldable computer desk, but definitely needed more space to work on. We located this desk and the seller wanted $450.00 to assemble it. I told my daughter I could assemble it, saving that cost. It was allegedly an 8 hour job but I did spend a good part of 2 days with the assembly. Not too bad for an old pfart.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                           

3 monitors!!

One is for home use. Mainly for my benefit. The two others are for work. Another keyboard in the draw below the pad of paper.

Looking good, AlB.

Thanks Artie. For awhile I thought I may need help because the weight but my daughter was up to the task.

Hey Al, did they have an IQ timed chart attached to that desk? How'd ya do?

I remember my parents back in the day told me they'd put our Christmas presents together Christmas Eve, this would have been late 60's and early 70's, and they remember there were IQ charts attached to the instructions, if you assembled the toy or doll house in so many minutes or hours, there was a corresponding IQ measurement. They failed miserably all the time, of course it didn't help they'd already had 3 or 4 Manhattans before they started assembling our gifts!

HaHa, If there is, I haven't seen it.The only thing was the offer to have it done by professional assemblers at what I thought was an unreasonable price. The instructions did say the assembly time would take 8 hours. Guess I failed that time  estimate miserably. And that was without the Manhattans.  It took a couple hours just to unpack it all and sort the parts.

Nice desk and super save on the funds.  Great job, Al.

Thanks Steve.

Hey, Al. Great looking desk! Two days well spent. I'll bet she's ecstatic to have all that work area.

I'd say that's a huge understatement..........

Great job on it Al!

Absolutely !

I echo what everyone else has said.  I also have two questions, both of which may be none of my business.  Feel free to tell me that.  1.  What company does she work for?  2.  Where did you buy the desk?  I really like it.
