Scavenged Componibili unit.

The weekend scavenger strikes again!

We’d been planning to buy a three-tier Kartell Componibili unit for a while now, but hadn’t yet gotten around to it. It’s a good thing we put it off, because while making a routine trip to the DWR Annex over the weekend, we found one at a huge discount.

It was covered with black scuff marks, but knowing the power of the wonder that is the Mr. Clean Magic Eraser (they really are magic, I swear!!), I was certain I could make it look like new again in about 5 minutes. And I did!

The price, you ask? $29. Yes. For those of you keeping track, that’s an 82% discount.

    They had that price on these units at the DWR Warehouse sale outside of Cincinnati this summer. I thought I had to be seeing things! There were some seriously great deals to be had.

    Great deal…

    With that angle of photo, it reminds me of the Orgasmatron from “Sleeper”.

    Wow, great find !!!
    I have just bought two here in the UK for £70 each but I did win the Heals vouchers for where I bought them from so I really got them for free so I was very fortunate!!!
    I have lusted after these little units for years.
