Quick question for the TOTAs.
I am planning on buying a new desk soon. This morning I made my way over to IKEA and saw a desk that I think will suit my purposes but it's a little hefty in price. I'm curious to see if anybody on these forums works at or knows somebody who works at IKEA (the one on The Queensway is, I think, the closest location to my house) and could help me save 15% (or maybe more?) on the purchase price.
Thanks in advance :) |

| If you can't afford the IKEA desk, maybe look around for a used one? |

I just bought a used Ikea desk for my setup recently for $100 and I'm extremely happy with it. Its the "Jerker" line which they don't carry in the store anymore...but at the time, it used to go for >$200 if I remember correctly.
i used to check craigslist every now and then until I finally found someone selling it |

| looks like you are going to have to head to home depot, buy some wood and build a desk yourself |

Nick, check Craigslist for the desk, tons of IKEA stuff there |

He's got a point. If an IKEA desk is out of your price range, you ahve to look at where all your disposable income is going.
Although that's making an assumption that Nick has a disposable income. |

Thanks for the replies everybody.
And as for clubbing too much...Ha! I probably go out less often than 90% of people on these boards (and when I do go out, the vast majority of the time I don't spend more than $50.00). I simply thought somebody on here may work at IKEA--it never hurts to see if you can get yourself a deal ;) |
