Free furniture

I needed my space in our room. I had brought some stuff with me to organize a little "Corner Office", but as it occured it was not enough. I needed two crucial things: a desk and a chair.

Where to look for furniture in Linz? At first I thought about the easiest (but the most expensive) solution - buy it. Hmm... not so clever!

It is absolutely normal in Linz that people give their furniture for free! Of course it is not brand new, but I "do not look a gift horse in the mouth". Nevertheless its condition may surprise.

We got our new desk (which cost aprox. 69 euro) for free, because we posted an annoucement on the Anton Bruckner University mailing list. German girl told us that "the desk is not in the best condition and it was in the basement for a long time". I was a bit alarmed while penetrating the one of the unfamous austrian basements, but nothing happened. The standard in Germany must be different that the Polish one - as you will see on the picture the desk is just great!

We transported the desk with Asia (strong girl she is, indeed) to our 500-meters-away-spacious-room. Both very happy, wanting to celebrate it, we headed toward the McDonald's restaurant to compensate ourselves for the effort. Being very close to McDonald's it stood in our way! A beautiful abandoned child of the furniture fashion. The armchair. For free! :)



This is how my little corner (and our room) evolved. Wonderful. Now I can do programming all day. On the left you can see the city plan. The plan is the key.
