vintage iroko hardwood worktop/desk/table and black trestles


Recommended Posts

Having served us well as a desk for many years, we've re-arranged the house and no longer have room for this.


The top is from retrouvius and is originally from a school laboratory. It's solid iroko wood and is full of original scuffs and marks which you could sand off but we never did because they give it lots of character. There's a hole and some screws still left in from the laboratory fittings - again, you could probably do something about this but we found it useful to stick a power cable through. It's an unusually long piece at 295 cm long. It's 60mcm wide. There are pictures in the link below but you could also look at the retrouvius website for better images of this kind of thing as they are still sourcing & selling these.

The trestles are black metal trestles from habitat - 60 cm wide and 72cm high. The top is just resting on them - not screwed or glued down in any way.


It works really well as a desk but we also had 14 people round it for Christmas one year, and it's looking like an amazing picnic table in our garden right now!


We'd like ?240 for the top and ?60 for the trestles, but will sell separately. We are based in Camberwell. Please let us know if you want to come and see it.

    • If you're talking about who I think you are, I find them more exuberant than rude and usually smiling and polite. But then, I'm usually smiling and polite to them. Can you not wedge open your gate when you're expecting them?
    • It worked. Corbyn did similar although not to the same degree. Momentum had a purge too when Corbyn got in. All his political life he opposed the EU but when it came to the crunch he publicly backed them during the referendum. I believe that was to appease the middle classes that he was appealing to. He messed up big time when wooing the middle classes at Glastonbury whilst ignoring his core working class voters up north. They also happened to be leave voters. He got starstruck and forgot about his politics. Corbynmania was thing, a movement but it was also the making of his downfall. For the many and not the few came back and slapped him right in the face. 
    • Nothing to do with the tories overspending whatsoever eh! Blame the last 10/11 years of blatant mismanagement, incompetence and willful deceit on the poor bastards that were left with the fall out of a complete car crash tory government.   One PM after another falling on their sword. Open corruption and piss taking throughout covid and a legacy of huge debt and destruction yet in your view it will be labour's 4 years in power that bankrupts us in 2029.  Another one that must think people are blind and stupid.  Rejoice rejoice. It's a pity he and his fellow clowns were completely annihilated at the ballot box. I mean they were doing so well after all 🙃🙃
    • Where did I say he did a good job? Yup and Corbyn was very close to Len McCluskey and funded by Unite wasn't he...they're all as bad as each other... Labour have to purge their party of the far-left - they're a disaster. Allan Johnson summed it up so well on election night in 2019....
