I am browsing through desks for my kid. I click on one and to my surprise it is the EXACT desk I am presently sitting at, which I bought a few years ago from the main local furniture outlet because I needed a semi-attractive but simple, cheap computer desk. It is made of compressed manufactured wood, some kind of wood pulp pressed into a wood product, and then a veneer that has worn slowly away, with a dark faux walnut stain.
The ad, I shit you not, says "Solid Walnut Desk" and goes on from there with the straight up lie-telling. The asking price is significantly more than I paid for this desk brand new. So either this person is a complete fool who doesn't know what wood is, or more likely, a complete fraudster. I contemplated filing a complaint but by the time I looked at it again, ad was gone, perhaps already sold that fine solid walnut desk! Or someone else like me recovered from the quickly enough to flag it.
After that it was sort of anticlimatic to see another ad promising no scratches! and the first picture presents you with a giant obvious scratch right on the front of the desk. Sigh.Statistics: Posted by Elle — Mon Jul 11, 2016 12:51 am
