So, anyways, the only place Michael really has thats all his own in this house in the office, and it was in sad shape. And with Xmas and his Bday being so close together, we decided we could splurge a little on him (not to mention he works 50+ hours of OT on each paycheck and never asks for anything.) So we went to Office Depot to look at desks. This guy said that he had dropped an entire pallette of desks and hutches. The boxes were beat up pretty bad, but we could not see any damage inside, just lots of broken styrophome. The guy had already marked them down considerably (about $200 off of each), but I wanted them just a bit lower. Just asking him got him to take another $50 bucks off the desk. We left, thought about it, then came back and said we would take the desk. But we wanted the hutch too just didn't think we could afford it also. So he said he would throw in the hutch and only raise the price of the total by $150. Michael was in the middle of saying we couldn't get the hutch when he felt a sharp pain in his back. I had to pinch him because I knew what the salesguy was going to say next (about combining the 2 and knocking off another 60% ish off the hutch.) Anyways, it went smoothly, and after one more attempt to ask him if we could have both pieces for $500.00 out the door, instead of $500.00 plus tax, (he said no), we headed up towards the cash register. While checking us out, the cashier gave us an unexpected 20% off, which took our total down to $400.00 plus tax! $425 total! We ran!
So, not only did we get the whole thing for about 75% off of its orginal price, but when we left the store, we had gotten both pieces for the price of the first discounted piece when we had walked in (because he dropped the pallette!). It was so amazing, and I'm very picky about wood and wood colors and it is very beautiful, matches the wood floor, opens up our window to the wintery wonderland, and has so much storage space for all his stuff. Happy Bday and Merry Xmas sexy man, hope you are happy:) (THEN HE PUT THE WHOLE DAMN THING TOGETHER IN 2 DAYS WHICH, TRUST ME, WAS IMPOSSIBLE!) So, now we will eat ramen noodles for the next month and dry our socks by the fire, but it was worth it ;P HEEEEEHAAWWW!

Wow! Amazing that they dropped the pallatte at the exact store you went to. Clearly it was just for Michael! And the extra 20% I love! Good for you for running out of there! It's a beautiful deep brown color, I love it. You could make your hair that color. Thank goodness the window is open now, and he can store things upwards on the hutch. He NEEDED THAT!!! I'm so happy for Michael.
