Customer Service Desk build

[Slartibartfass]

After we had some flooding a while ago in the village I am living in I (among other folks) helped a store owner rebuild his store.

Besides dry-walling and painting I offered to rebuild the customer counter (free of charge....).

(pictures to come...)

It's nice. It's cool to see one done as a built-in on site, plus using flooring in a place that sells flooring.
Mighty nice of you to do it for free too!
Reception desks are an everyday thing for me, so it's interesting to see how someone else does it.

Very well done and looks great!  The lights really add an extra dimension to it!

Thanks for sharing!

There is a chance I might move to Phoenix-area in AZ too (job opportunity related - still up in the air)....
