Re: Home office design

[Glenn Ericson <Glenn-Ericson@xxxxxxx>]

Rick, here in NYC  there are used office furniture places. Most of 
the  desks files  etc are in like new condition.
As big  firms move from one location to another a lot of 
the  furniture is  wholesaled or sold off as the new location  is 
fitted with furniture that fits the decor and theme of their new 
office.  I think I did  pretty good  with  file cabinets, bookcases, 
desk and  tables  very clean scrap free  like new for  one  big bunch 
of money less. Be prepared to haul it home or  pay for delivery.
