Ready-To-Assemble Furniture
I am an expert at putting together ready-to-assemble furniture; you know, that stuff made of pressboard and veneer, usually with a tacky maple finish (though I do have some nice cherry wood finish stuff). We own ready-to-assemble bookshelves, dressers, headboard, armoire, tables, and now a computer desk: I can’t afford to purchase the real thing; that is, products made out of real wood instead of pressboard. But it’s nice stuff: surprisingly, our house does NOT look like a Wal-mart furniture display section.
I recently bought a “Computer Corner Work Centre” made by Mylex (I couldn’t find their damn website, so something’s fishy: what company doesn’t have a website now?). The box weighed about two tons, most of that from the nails and screws included, I think. It took me three hours. Unfortunately, I didn’t take any exciting photos of the event. I know, you’re disappointed. Sorry.
If I bought something like this, I’d record the whole thing in time-lapse. Looks like you have a new monitor. Do you have a new monitor?
When Uncle Roger arrives on Tuesday, you’ll have to get him to install a door for that room so you can download all your porn without having to look over your shoulder.
Looks good.
No new monitor. The fancy desk makes my computer almost look new.
mylex does have a website. mylex.ca, but it is only for suppliers, just in case you were interested.
Have a great day!
Hello
I found your site while looking for the damn Mylex site. Our chest of drawers we bought has a problem…the drawers won’t open! I don’t know what ’s wrong!!! I thought it was comical though. If you know of anything that’ll help mail me!

I did a quick search and still couldn’t find a site for them. A drawer not opening could be due to that horizontal metal thingy the drawer sits on; that metal thingy has to fit snugly in the grove on the edge. I had to use a hammer sometimes to make it flush.
