My mother-in-law bought me this rather short desk from the auction for $3 a couple of weeks ago. I didn't get a complete before picture because it had a set of three drawers on one side that we removed. Because the desk was obviously meant for a very short person and the fact that it was extremely heavy, I decided I wanted to make a television stand out of it to house our television that my momma gave us =)
Before pics:
The desk is laying on it's backside...
