A new computer desk from IKEA arrived today. My sister organised it and it had to be delivered because at 2.5 metres long, it wouldn't fit in her car. The trick is to get it into the destination bedroom. There's a right-angle bend in the corridor that leads from the front door to the three bedrooms. It may be possible to go through the lounge, kitchen/dining room, laundry, toilet and bathroom to arrive at the other end of the corridor but that will be a tight fit.
In all, it's going to be easier to go in through the window of the destination room. At present it's in the loungeroom and will stay there until the carpets are taken up in the corridor and bedrooms – new imitation floorboards are replacing the carpet and an assembled desk would get in the way, especially since it will be partially wall-mounted. The earliest time the vinyl floor-layers can attend is September 19th, five weeks away.
The new desk is actually a laminated kitchen workbench that's 246cm long and is to be attached to the wall with two telescoping legs to allow for different height choices.
Also included is a five-drawer storage unit to go under one end.
