Question:
Found this desk that is almost perfect (would like it to be longer). It has all the storage I need and is backless. Double Pedestal Exec desk by Thomasville. You happen to have seen anything like this by chance? It is being offered for $160 (used.) Is that a good value? –Anthony
Answer:
Thomasville made excellent desks.
The resale value of furniture is highly dependent on the condition of the piece.
In the photo, the desk appears to be in excellent condition.
Buying a new desk of similar quality would cost you well over $1000.
The $160 asking price is a great value for you if the desk is in good condition.
