Roll Top Desks FYI Olympia area

[M_D]

For anyone interested the Olympia Habitat for Humanity has two nice little roll tops for sale. Both appeared to be solid wood and in decent shape

Nice - That one with the 4 drawers for $150 could probably be configured to hold a decent amount of tying materials. Maybe not an OCD hoarders amount like some of us here (myself included). But the normal amount that someone early on in their tying career might have.

Yeah, those are both nice sizes for fly tying. I'm using one very similar to smaller one and supplement it with a separate, wheeled drawer unit. Compact enough that I can (am allowed to) keep it in a corner of the living room - the roll top hides the mess nicely!

I prefer what @Haggis57 did. More legroom is a bonus and also more comfortable.

Need more storage? Get a bigger roll-around drawer unit. LOL

Or multiple! Start small . . . think big!!

Are you happy with the rolling drawered cabinet? Can you tell me the brand or store you got it at?

That's the best part for having a roll top desk. Roll the top down to hide the mess and keep things nice and tidy..

The second picture with the multiple units is actually lifted from the Home Depot website - I'm not that brave!! I couldn't see any manufacturer's markings on my unit but all the details look identical to the Adeptus details on the Home Depot site. Adeptus has a website as well. I bought my unit second hand in southern BC.

Yeah the cabinet is good for the purpose. It seems ideal for fly tying materials, sewing materials, craft storage. It is solid wood construction - pine I think - which seems to be a rarity now for massed produced furniture. Decent fit and finish. I like the fact that the drawers are wider than they are deep although Walmart has an Adeptus model with longer narrow drawers.

Thanks Ken, you're right about cabinets of solid wood are hard to find without breaking the bank. I'll see if these are still solid wood and fit the budget. Thanks!
