Default Good quality Parsons desk

I am looking for a good quality Parsons desk. Like the Officeworks one below, but better quality. Has anyone seen any around?

Click the image to open in full size.

The Parsons table is a modernist square or rectangular table whose four, flush, square legs are equal in thickness to the top.

I can't see anything in Adelaide. I would suggest Domo or Contempo in Perth. Maybe Coco Republic in Melbourne. I think you might need to go on a shopping trip interstate

Sorry B, I've had a look at Freedom and Domayne and haven't seen anything similar. You could try online on a site like www.buyster.com.au? Domo has a lot of that kind of furniture so it would be worth looking at too.

Having seen the Chalk online, I checked it out for you in person today! Maybe we were at Freedom at the same time...

You should have seen me, shaking it, opening/shutting drawers. It was very solid and looked just like the picture in the catalogue. Great choice. Just a little more expensive, but I think definitely worth it!

Yes, a bit more than I want to spend but it really does look well made.
Were they sold out in your freedom? All colours were sold out here

Grrr. How annoying! Sometimes shopping around has it's disadvantages.

A bit cheeky of them to have had so many items on sale for what seemed like months, and then jack the prices up...
