Our New Computer Desk

We were invited to a furniture auction hosted by the Marine Officer's Wives Club where various Japanese antique and furniture vendors were brought in to sell their wares. There were many smaller items sold in a silent auction and the larger items were auctioned off live. We were meaning to buy a computer desk for our office room at home - so we had our eye out for what was available at the auction. We were out bid during the silent auction on a desk we really liked - but alas it all worked out because we were able to get this very unique piece during the live auction!

This computer desk was refurbished and converted In Japan from an over 100 year old cabinet that originally came from China. The chair has three small drawers on the back of it and rolls out to unveil the keyboard. It even came with a certificate of authenticity. We also got the shaggy carpet to put under the desk at the auction.
