A few weeks ago, a “last call before it goes to the dump” Facebook post offered a desk and chair. It has eight drawers. I’d been using a borrowed-from-the-family drop-leaf table and cardboard Ikea boxes that were starting to melt. I knew enough to take measurements of the front door and the space I wanted to put it.
