Hurrah! I was walking along outside the Tower building at Dundee University, when I saw a man breaking down tables. I asked him what he was doing, and he said that he had been told to destroy all these perfectly good tables and take them to the dump! There were chairs too. It seemed like madness. I asked if I could have a table? He said that was fine. I was perfectly prepared to carry it home, backpack-style, but he offered to drop it off at my house (I live about 15 minutes' walk away). Emboldened, I asked for a chair to go with it. Wow! Within 1 hour, the men arrived at my flat with table and chair. I had already cleared the old table and piano bench and put them in the bedroom. I have installed my sewing machine and UFOs at my new table and chair. How inviting it all looks, and - best of all - it's at a much better height. The chair has a back rest, and feels so much more comfortable than the piano bench was. Perhaps best of all, I saved 2 pieces of furniture from the skip. :) I will post photos on my webshots now.....look on the second page of "My Public Shoebox".
