Proof that it pays to search Craigslist for more general terms, we got a great condition Brasilia desk this weekend for $60! Part of my usual search includes the term "Broyhill" on the off chance that someone will post a Brasilia item not knowing what it is but seeing the Broyhill makers mark. Most of the time that is not the case and I was just about to give up on the search term. This weekend I was scrolling through and saw a desk that looked kind of mid century on the small photo. I had definitely searched the term the night before and scrolled right past it as it didn't jump out. I clicked on the ad and saw the handles and just about had a conniption - a Broyhill Brasilia desk listed for $40! I emailed it to my husband who happened to be looking for something smaller to replace a HUGE teak table he had been using for a desk, and he called immediately figuring someone else had snatched it up...but we got it!
He's all moved in now and I'm SO jealous of his amazing new desk!! It's an absolutely beautiful example of mid century craftsmanship and style. Who doesn't love Brasilia, though?
