Sorry, fw, that you're still having NOTHING but trouble over that desk. What a frustrating situation. My husband and I went to small claims court twice - once over an issue with the restoration of his Corvette and the other over tenants. Of course, it was up north here and so long ago that I don't remember how costly it was to do so. Hope you find a way to get your money back. It seems like it would be a pretty straight forward case. I'm surprised the furniture place would even let it get this far. Bad business it seems.
