Techline

Placewares, the former Boston area store chain that specialized in ‘places to put your things’, used to sell a line of furniture called Techline. The pieces all came knocked down, like Ikea stuff, and had to be assembled. They’re nice and sturdy, with a heavy laminate or thick enamel finish over chipboard. We have several of them in our Newton home office room. Arlene saw two Techline student desks posted on Craig’s List, on the other side of Newton. We went over to get them Wednesday evening. I’m posting this from a laptop on top of a two-drawer oak file cabinet that we got, oh, maybe three weeks ago on Craig’s List, but the desks will be put back together here in Casco tomorrow and we’ll have enough space to have a laptop, keyboard, and mouse all on one surface.
