1/2-Round Counter

product thumbnail image

$10.00

This sturdy, pleasingly-shaped half-round counter or desk with wood sides and a laminate top came to us listed as a “podium extension.” Yeah, we don’t know, either. But you can’t beat the $10.00 price!

3-Drawer Oak Dresser Cabinets

product thumbnail image

$60.00

We’ve received several of these nice, sturdy oak 3-drawer dresser cabinets from the Mercer Hall demolition project. They fit right under the oak raised bed frames as well as under the oak desks we also have available. It’s a regular oak forest in our warehouse these days.

Assorted Retro Wood Desks

product thumbnail image

$25.00 - $40.00 as marked

The old-school wooden desks are always popular with folks at the surplus warehouse, but we’re not seeing as many as we once did. So it’s unusual that we receive several all at once as we have recently. Choose from a variety of shades—all in nice shape and looking retro-swanky.

Bed Frames

product thumbnail image

$10.00 each (includes mattress!)

JUST RECEIVED 4 MORE METAL BEDS!!!!!
We are suddenly silly with metal, twin-size bed frames from Lander Hall (which, yes, will be demolished soon). For each incredibly low-priced bed frame you’ll also get a mattress to go with it! How’s that for five bucks?!

Bevy of Wood Desks

product thumbnail image

$35.00 each

We have four of these very nice wood desks with unusual drop-leaf front sections—great for use as computer desks, as there are holes for cables, etc.
Sweet Deal: Loft bed, pedestal, and desk = $90.00!

Big Long Black Rolling Computer Desks

product thumbnail image

$30.00 each

For some folks using a computer is ominous enough, so the next time you have to teach a first-timer how to do V-Lookup in Excel spreadsheets, why not make it even more terrifying with the help of one of these B.L.B.R.C.D.s?

Black-Top Cabinet

Couch: The Ronny Milsap

product thumbnail image

$25.00

SOLD!
Plaid Americana at its finest! Also in very good condition! Upholstered in real J.J. Evans pants. Good Times, indeed: Dyno-MITE!

Couch: The Whoa-Nelly

product thumbnail image

$20.00

SOLD!
Bizarrely, this piece of, well we’ll call it furniture, looks as though it has never been used … as if it never left Conway Twitty’s basement. It’s certainly a conversation piece; I’m just not sure I want to have that conversation.
A single back piece of the frame appears to be split in the center, causing the back to lean back farther when you sit in it, a simple repair, OR: handle it the hillbilly way & back this baby up against a wall, problem solved!

Dark Grey Table

product thumbnail image

$20.00

Here’s a good opportunity to score a swell-looking office table that is free of scratches and bruises—in an unusual dark grey color, with a lovely laminate top.

Desks/ Workstations: NICE!

product thumbnail image

$30.00 each!

Hey, we’ve got TEN of these very nice corner desks/ computer workstations, and they’re not going to last long at $30.00 each! Some have slide-out keyboard trays, too! In great shape!

$10.00 each!

SOLD!
We’ve just received several (so far: 20) large, round folding tables, and we’ve priced them at just $10.00 each to ensure they all roll out of here swiftly.

Garrishness Is In The Eye Of The Beholder Arm Chairs

product thumbnail image

80s Aztec: $5.00; McLiberace: $10.00; Avocado Bomber: TBD

You have to admit, you can’t look away. Choose from The 80s Aztec, The McLiberace, or the Avocado Bomber.

Granny Clampett's Other Favorite Chair

product thumbnail image

$5.00

Since an astute coworker pointed out to me that Granny Clampett’s actual favorite chair was a rocking chair, I added the word “other” to the title. Because the last thing I need is some angry hillbilly blowin’ up mah phone.

It's COAT HOOKS!

product thumbnail image

.50 each

Sets of 2 metal coat hooks on wood backings.

Lateral File Cabinets

product thumbnail image

$15 - $50

Assorted colors and sizes, with prices ranging from $15 to $50. Photo represents a random sampling of available items as stock changes regularly.

Light Table #1

product thumbnail image

$50.00

SOLD!
Well, I tried to lift it, and it sure isn’t light, although it does plug in and illuminate.

Loveseat Like Whoa

product thumbnail image

$15.00

SOLD-a-roony!
I tried staring at this until I went cross-eyed thinking it might turn out to be one of those Magic Eye puzzles, like maybe I’d see a 3-D Walton’s Mountain or something. Turns out the answer is no. And now I’m not so sure you should stare directly at this piece of furniture either, but you have to admit—it’s tough to look away.

Loveseat/ Coffee Table Combo

product thumbnail image

$60.00

SOLD!
This blue-vinyl love seat will always have a coffee table nearby—they’re conjoined. This is excellent if you always want to know where your coffee table is. This is less excellent if you want to move the coffee table … because your love seat is coming along, too. Still, they do have a certain je ne sais quoi, no?

Marble-Topped Coffee Table

product thumbnail image

$65.00

Here’s a lovely, low marble-topped coffee table that would look perfect with a simple wood refinishing.

Massive Table

product thumbnail image

$45.00

SOLD!
This large conference table has just arrived and may look a little askew in the photo because we’ve removed the surface from the legs/ frame in order to hold everything together on a dolly cart. The table appears to be in excellent shape.

Matching Grey Desks

product thumbnail image

$30.00 each

Currently, we have ten of these nice matching grey desks. As our warehouse is piling up with new items lately we’re having to get creative about how we gingerly arrange furniture.

Matching Grey Tables

product thumbnail image

$5.00 each

As the weather gets warmer we tend to receive more surplus furniture and so we must be crafty about how we arrange items in the warehouse, especially when we receive large quantities of the same things. So you’ll have to take my word for it when I say this photo actually shows all 25 of these matching grey tables that we have managed to Jenga together. One benefit to you of our having so many pieces is that we price such items very low to ensure they move out the door!
These desks each have slide-out center tray-drawers.

Nice Stacking Resin + Fabric Chairs

product thumbnail image

$10.00 each!

Here is a set of 8 unusual, and unusually-comfortable resin & fabric stacking chairs that are a great buy at just $10.00 each!

Now That's A Long, Low Bench!

product thumbnail image

$20.00

SOLD!
It certainly is. As a bonus, it’s also extremely heavy. But there’s just something about this odd thing that’s endearing—it’s an attractive piece of furniture with a solid, sturdy wood frame. With a recovering, it will look amazing, so at this low price we hope it finds a good home.

Oak Bunk Bed Set

product thumbnail image

Now just $130.00 each!

PRICE FURTHER REDUCED 03/30!
From the ongoing Mercer Hall demolition project, these oak bunk bed sets were built to last! Includes ladder & 2 mattresses.

Oak Pedestal Drawers

product thumbnail image

$25.00 each

We have just a few more very nice, oak wood rolling pedestal drawer sets available, and we’ve set a new, lower price for them! So if your memories of Mercer Hall require a memento, these are some of the last items from that building.
Sweet Deal: Loft bed, pedestal, and desk = $90.00!

Old Wood Spindle Chair

product thumbnail image

$5.00!

While Ms. Gulch was out stealing neighbor girls’ little dogs, we took her chair.

Old Wood Stool

product thumbnail image

$10.00

SOLD!
Every once in a while we get old wooden furniture that looks so great displaying its age and years of use that there’s really nothing you need to do to it to make it look better, and this stool is a prime example. The metal around each of its leg bottoms is curious, but we kind of like it, so stop screaming “Polio! Polio!”

Pair of Rolling Office Chairs

product thumbnail image

$35.00 each

Nice chrome legs you’ve got there!
Thanks, and they roll, too!

Pop-Top Multi-Slot Cabinet

product thumbnail image

$10.00!

SOLD!
In the immortal words of KMFDM, “Don’t you blow your top!”
It may look like a mild-mannered map or drafting case, but the work surface of this baby pops up as well! All that, and the whole thing is on wheels! And at just ten bucks, this is a super deal!

Raised Oak Loft Bed Frames + Mattress

product thumbnail image

$65.00 each!

PRICE FURTHER REDUCED AS OF 3/13!
We have a number of oak raised platform beds + their mattresses, all from the Mercer Hall demolition project. [Pictured with oak 3-drawer dresser cabinet, also available.] NOTE: Orange tags for bed sets are available from Surplus staff and/ or the cashier’s desk. A complete bed will have two end pieces, three rails, three pieces of cut plywood, and a mattress.

Sweet Deal: Loft bed, pedestal, and desk = $90.00!

REAL Vinyl Hip to Be Square Chairs

product thumbnail image

$10.00 each

SOLD!
Why settle for imitation vinyl when we’ve got the REAL THING right here?! Plus, these chairs just look boss.

Retro Speakers, Aewome Leather Chair

product thumbnail image

As marked

We’ve got some truly ancient-looking speakers in a variety of shapes & styles, and they look perfecto beside this excellent cream leather recliner.

Round Table

product thumbnail image

$20.00

SOLD!
Sir Gawain, this is Marge in Receiving. The Green Knight is running late from his 2:00 LEAN team meeting and wanted me to let you know he’ll meet you at that charming little round table in the break room to help you figure out your Balanced Scorecard metrics in about ten minutes. Can I get you some mead while you wait?

Tall Podium Table

product thumbnail image

$5.00!

Think of it as a standing desk from which you could deliver the Gettysburg Address.

Tall Rolling Chairs!

product thumbnail image

$45.00 each

SOLD!
We get asked about tall rolling chairs all the time; we just don’t see them very often because departments tend to hang on to them. Well, act fast, because we happen to have SIX of them in now!

The Nice Bench

product thumbnail image

$30.00

I suppose this 3-cushion bench marks the kinder, gentler cousin opposite the gargantuan, darkness-of-Hades bench we also received this week. This bench is in great shape and appears to be free of blemishes. Plus, it’s upholstered in what looks to have been a 90s PC screensaver pattern! Score!

Trio of Retro Wood Chairs

product thumbnail image

$20.00 - $25.00, as marked

SOLD!
We’ve been lucky lately to see a few of these nice old wood chairs each week, and we suddenly find ourselves with three! And while such well-made, super-sturdy chairs were once literally everywhere, they’re becoming harder and harder to find. Snap these up before somebody else does!

Upholstered Arm Chair

product thumbnail image

Now $25.00!

PRICE REDUCED!
I want to call this chair “The Alistair Cooke,” but the pattern of the upholstery looks so much like a screensaver choice from the early 90’s I have to think of some other name for it. Talk about your culture clashes.

Weird Science Desk

product thumbnail image

$5.00

SOLD!
When I heard we had a Carl Zeiss desk coming in I thought somebody was crazy. Well, we did some research and were able to learn that, yes, Zeiss did offer desk units such as this (weird!), although we’re still not sure just how this desk was used if it was used for Zeiss microscopes. While the desk is missing one drawer (a simple item to replace), the structure of the desk is solid. The funky gadgets, whatever they may be for, mainly sit there looking awesome, which can only increase your dorko-hip cred anyway.

Wide/ Tall Bookshelf/ Cabinet

product thumbnail image

$20.00

This great wide + tall cabinet comes with a bonus nature poster! You absolutely can shake a stick at that!

Wood + green Fabric Arm Chairs

product thumbnail image

$15.00 each

I think this quartet of wood + green fabric arm chairs are spearmint-colored, but I’m being voted down by the warehouse staff, who insist this color is obviously wintergreen.

Wood Card Catalog

product thumbnail image

Up for bids in an online timed auction NOW!

SOLD!
Online timed auction for this item is now LIVE! CLICK HERE to go to the auction page. Auction ends at 7pm Pacific Time on Wednesday, April 24th, 2012. Good luck & happy bidding!
Consider this a teaser—we’ve got this amazing, old, wood card catalog on display in the warehouse, and we’ll be putting it up for bids in an online, timed auction in the coming weeks. It should take us that long to explain to Kids Today what these things were used for while we enjoy their eyes bugging out (that is, if they can look up from their Wonderphones long enough).

Wood File Cabinet

product thumbnail image

$45.00

Here’s a lovely old 4-drawer wood file cabinet—an example of an increasingly rare breed.

Wood-That-Looks-Plastic Chairs

product thumbnail image

$30.00 and $50.00 respectively

So at first, we thought these two chairs looked like unusual injection-molded resin chairs made to look like wood-grain, but it turns out they’re both actual wood. We’ve honestly never seen anything like them. There are no maker’s marks on them beyond stamping to indicate they were made in Germany.
