My favorite thing about wal-mart furniture is that it is easy to throw away. I have been moving out of a house before and had the realization I no longer wanted a piece of furniture. One good heave into the air, and the first impact with the ground reduces it to a nice, neat pile of particle-board pieces.
The desk I've had for several years is a giant steel thing from the 1950's. No one is going to throw this thing very far. I paid $25 at a Goodwill store for it. It's not a valuable antique, but at the same time, I don't see desks like this ever being made again.
